Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The Buffets were closed more than they were open, the coffee was the worst I have ever had and none of the ice machines ever worked so everyone was having to use a bucket to get ice out of with a scoop….not at all sanitary. That being said we are 95% of Meals in main dining room which was great once realized we had to order multiple items if we wanted to actually get full the portions were extremely small. If you ordered waffles you got one piece about a 1/3 of the size of an eggo. Most of the food was delicious in the dining room

Everything you said is true! Actually you were being nice! We went May 25 and it was terrible. We had 3 Cabins and a suite. The food was so terrible we tried to get groceries at local store. The schedule was ridiculous and made zero sense! Biggest waste of money ever. Carnival does not care if your happy!

We were on this ship in February out of Australia. We had the opposite experience. Great food, excellent service, happy/friendly staff and wonderful entertainment. One of our best cruises. Difficult to believe this review. Sorry you had a bad experience.

I have read the exact same think about the food (dining good; buffet disappointing/closed); also, regarding ice machine and coffee not being good. I wondered about the onboard activities. What did you do in Seattle? We have been before, in 2018; just wondering how things seem now. Thanks for your review.
