Garrett’s Geeeeez. Be positive my friend. Buffets are not open 24/7 on any cruise line. A cruise is what you make of it.

Buffets aren't available 24 hours on most ships, carnival cabins are the largest in the industry, free water at the juice stations, bands play throughout the ship and bars and bingo is the same price on all carnival ships. Wow.

You get free water, tea, coffee and lemonade. First cruise according to profile, not sure what went wrong but I enjoyed the Dream. We had the best time my wife and I.
