Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The dining room was easy to get into and always a huge selection of foods. We love the “Rare Finds” and the special Port selections. Service was always friendly and attention to detail was top notch. Food on the buffet was always good and plentiful. The special sections on the Lido deck were great. Loved Guys Burger and the Blue Lagoon for a quick taco or bowl. The Deli was always fresh and inviting.

Clean, well appointed and had beautiful views pulling into ports. Cabin steward was friendly and helpful. Liked that shampoo and body wash was always full. Hint - bring hair conditioner, it’s not provided.

I was very weary of all the negative reviews also. I am convinced some people will just complain to hear themselves. I can’t say anything negative about the ship (no bad smells). The food - always hot and plenty of it. Were there lines at the buffet, absolutely but what do you expect with thousands of people trying to eat at peak times. There was no one in the pizza line at 3:00 am. I got a whole pizza and no wait. We used the Carnival Hub app to check in for anytime dining and our table was always ready within 3 minutes. For a ship as crowded as it was, I always got a decent seat at the pool. I’m an ex-smoker and still sat at the casino and the smoke was not cloud like as others have described. Does it smell like cigarettes sure it’s one of only 2 or 3 places to smoke. All other places on the ship were fine. It was always clean and the elevators were always fast. Getting off the ship at ports weren’t too bad. 1st port got backed up but everyone went to one location at the same time. If you don’t have an excursion booked immediately then wait 5-10 minutes, better yet, go get your buffet breakfast, it’s not crowded. Basically take a deep breath, sip your coffee longer. Your on vacation, make your own fun and don’t let some small inconvenience ruin a probably long deserved and already paid for good time. Enjoy your trip. I already booked my next two cruises.
