Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Breakfast buffet has changed for the worse over the years. Only get bacon every other day. Someone served it to you and only gave you two pieces. When you asked for more they weren’t happy. Ordered an omelette and no bacon, sausage or mushrooms. My Time dining was pathetic. Every night we logged on app and reserved spot. Every night it stated under 20 minutes. Never happened. Anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour even though it said under 10 minute wait. First dress up night sat at table for 3 hours to complete dinner. 45 minutes from appetizer to salad. Need to change management. Very disappointing. Shrimp cocktail was tiny shrimp cocktail

Ship tip

Don’t. I have taken 6 Carnival Cruises and a few Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean is in a class of their own with entertainment and food

Ports of call

La Romana, Dominican Republic

Nothing there except a pool and few shops. Not sure why they would bring their guests here
