Review summary

There is a reason Carnival is inexpensive. The food needs work, unlimited drink packages aren’t in line with other cruise lines, very expensive. On an At Sea Day, at dinner, 1/2 of the buffet was closed down. The dinning room menus weren’t something that appealed to us…. Or 2500 other people! Crew members don’t correct bad behaviour of 11-15 year olds chasing each other throwing drinks and ice in the Atrium Bar, in common areas. Saw this happen several times. If you want decent food, you are going to pay extra for it in the speciality dinning rooms. It’s as if they are forcing you to go to them. Get rid of formal night! Nobody dresses up! The rules are no tank tops, flip flops, in the dinning room and we saw it every night.

The people who work the dinning rooms and buffets are exemplary! The menus, food at the buffets need work. Even Guy’s burger place was poor. Blue iguana cross contaminated meat, chicken, and shrimp on tge sane cutting board making burritos.
