Review summary

This was our second cruise with Carnival and this one was longer. We enjoyed Roatan and Belize and the excursions. The service was great on the cruise. The food was not very good and we were very disappointed. We like eating when we want and at the buffet and there were very few cooked vegetables, the desserts were awful and there were way too many starches. The first cruise we took the food was good. This time around, it was not.

That's a tough one if you actually like healthy food. I know people think of veggies as rabbit food but for the calories I can eat a TON of veggies, broiled & baked fish, chicken at half the calories and be stuffed. I know I'm lucky I like that type of food and married a guy who does also. Cheers!

If you're a "healthy" eater, a sudden switch to processed foods can kill your digestive system. I'd rather spend my days in the sun than the Loo. I've been on carnival, RC, HA, Princess... and Carnival definitely has the least healthy food. It's a fun atmosphere and you get what you pay for. It's good to be informed about what's on each cruise though which is why sites with reviews are great.

Dining room breakfast has a lot of healthy choices and dinner has vegetarian, different salads and vegetable sides. A few days of "unhealthy" food will not kill anyone. It's vacation.

The buffet is the buffet, sometimes better than others. But the dining room is much better and the other places mentioned above, I agree, are great. And yes you can do anytime dining if you want to vary times. Doing steak house in April as it is purported to be best on the ship.

There are a few people that aren't happy about anything in the world but I personally enjoyed the food and entertainment on the Freedom when I went.

Maybe next time try eating in the main dining room? Food is better there. Anytime dining allows you to go whenever. Guys burgers are amazing!!
