Review summary

this was our third Carnival cruise. The boat was fine, the staff was excellent very friendly and attentive, the ports of call were all good. We were just very disappointed in the food, especially in the main dining area. On previous Carnival cruises the main dining area had the best food, different from the buffet and it seemed fresh. This time around it was COLD and not very good and you could get the some of the same items on the buffet that was hot and sometime due to sitting out over cooked. We were just very disappointed that in the main dining area, you get dressed up and get served food that was cold and not freshly prepared. The guys burgers were fine, the taco bar was fine, the sandwich shop was fine and at times the buffet was fine too, but again, the dining room sucked.

Oh no! 😯 I enjoyed the MDR food the most on my last carnival cruise. I’ve been looking forward to it so hopefully it was just an off week. 😬

We were on the Ecstasy last May and the service was slow in the MDR.

Did you mention it to them, you had 5 nights there? The night after the cold food I would have said, "last night the food was cold, could you make sure it's hot tonight, thank you"
