Review summary

This was my first cruise experience. I went with a few of my friends that had been on many cruises and one thing they had me looking forward to was the food. I was extremely disappointed in the food. The service in the dining room was extremely slow on getting orders out and the food wasn't good at all. The buffet was even more disappointing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The most friendliest staff members were the entertainers and the room attendant. They made the trip more enjoyable.

Food was great on our last cruise. Seaday Brunch was amazing. Blue iguana breakfast burritos are something I look forward to every cruise. The fries at Guy's are quite tasty. I fail to understand how people can be disappointed with the food on a ship when there is so much to choose from. Like what do you usually eat when you aren't on a cruise?

If you can’t find food you like regardless of the line you’re sailing something is wrong. Just my opinion. So far we’ve been on 2 cruises and not had any issues with food, Or much else for that matter. Very happy with carnival

We have never had issues with the food plus there are tons of people they are waiting on.

We have always found the dining experience to be quite good. It's not a five star restaurant it's a cruise ship with very good food. I'm not really a big fan of the buffet but there are a lot of very good food selections available, Seaday brunch excellent, Blue Iguana, Guys Burgers, the deli, Seafood Shack, Tandoor just to name a few. Perhaps you need a higher priced Cruise Line
