Food and Dining

1 out of 5

There was very little variety on the buffett. Dining room room food was not good and took FOREVER to get. Two times it wasn't edible and I sent it back. The ceaser salad had a fishy every time I got it and had to ask for something else.

Onboard Activities

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm looking forward to our cruise on the Horizon in July. Micky, Carnival does post CD schedules. I googled it.

Just for future reference, caesar salad is made with anchovies. You can ask for it without it. Sorry you had such a bad time.

Thats funny because we just got off the same cruise and we thought it was one of the best. Cabin great, steward awesome. Never had to wait in the MDR, we had no issues with the food. Cookie, the cruiser director was unbelievable. We have had Cookie before but he was off the wall on this cruise. The 80’s glow party was over an hour unbelievable entertainment. We wish carnival would publish where there cruise directors are way in advance as we would book where Cookie is in a heartbeat.

Sorry things didn't go well. Hopefully, you will continue to cruise. I do need to point out that Ceasar salad has anchovies in it.
