Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The buffet area food was ok, the items that should of been kept cold not always was the case so was a little nervous drinking the milk or eating the meats and cheeses. The taco bar closed early everyday and three days in a row I barely missed it and was disappointed.

At least you still tried to have fun. Now you know you're prone to sea sickness next time try the patch behind the ear.

My wife gets seasick. We ordered the patches. They worked very well, and they last 3 days. She put the patches on before she boards the ship.

I get sea sick on every cruise. The ships have pill that work! I go to Guest Service and get them. RC is free, Carnival charges for them. I took them right away as soon as I got onboard. I was not sick that night. I still felt the ship and got a little dizzy. But I was not laying in bed like before.
