The buffet was horrible. The Blue Iguana, Guy’s burgers, pizza and deli were our saving grace.

Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. I have noticed that the food seems to be improving on the Carnival ships since the restart (except for the beef dishes). We completed our 44th Carnival cruise in January, and yes, now and again everting seems to go sideways. But overall, we have found it to be a good experience.

Very confused about your Steward leaving your door unlocked with the deadbolt ???????

So I can almost guarantee this is NOT a fake review of Carnival. We traveled on the carnival miracle in August '22 and the buffet was honestly abysmal. You could get better buffet food at a Golden corral or sizzler here in the States. The food in the dining room was nothing to write home about either as was the service. It was a four-day booze cruise to hell as most people other than me were drunk. It was my 15th cruise, but absolutely last one on carnival as I usually travel Princess, Royal Caribbean, or Celebrity.

The date of your cruise shows that left today. How did you experience all of this if the cruise might not have even left the port?
