Food and Dining

3 out of 5

So this being my 1st Carnival Cruise, after cruising many times on RC, and Norwegian, I was not impressed by the food on the buffet. We only ate in the dining room one night during the cruise due to conflicts with shows and/or other time constraints but I felt the same there as well. I have always heard that Carnival Cruise Line is family/kid based but to me it seemed like there wasn’t much food that kids would eat on the buffet. I personally do not eat salad or vegetables and unfortunately most everything served at lunch & dinner were dishes I could not eat.

If you want a great excursion, go to the Island Beach Club while you are in Cozumel. Riding Jet-skis in the Ocean was AMAZING.

That is why there is more than one cruise line. No one cruise is right for everyone

Thank you for your review. Would like to suggest if you cruise with Carnival or any cruise line, if you have dietary needs/restrictions/concerns please reach out to the maître d’ or other personal to see if they can assist you. I know Carnival has a podium in the buffet area for this reason.
