We have had unauthorized charges and a trip to Customer Services will correct or explain them. Carnival changes the buffet menu every day, but also keep some items the same. You just need to check all the sections. The deli offers the same but you have several options. I am always surprised by the comment that it is the same food. Even if that were true, there are several options so one could try a different combination. Sorry the cruise didn’t live up to your expectations. Maybe Carnival is not for you.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion the only thing I’m having trouble believing is that there wasn’t anything to do far as entertainment if u have ever been on Carnival liberty or know someone that has been on the Carnival liberty they will tell you that this is a party boat none stop entertainment Period

The cruise lines sometimes run charges each day once you reach are certain limit. It could be the daily gratuities as others mentioned. It also could just be a pre-authorization that drops off after a waiting period based on your card’s policy and is not actually charged.

Possibly gratuities? If you did not prepay them?

Trust you got your account corrected on board as it is almost impossible to correct after you disembark.
