Review summary

I enjoyed the cruise. Very disappointed in the food. The quality isn’t nearly what it was pre-Covid.

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Guy’s burgers were good. The food in dining room left little to be desired. I have cruised with carnival many times. This is the first cruise post Covid. The food quality as gone down significantly. The steak available for dinner that doesn’t involve extra cost is insulting and should really just be removed from the menu. Not a lot of flavor to many dishes and just not the quality I expected based on my past experiences with carnival.

Appreciate your detailed summary. It appears that several cruise lines are not back to pre-Covid standards in food quality. Sorry you were disappointed.
