Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The buffet was repetitive, specially during breakfast. The dining room was very good. The menu was different every time. The service at Marco Polo restaurant was incredible. Emilio always greeted us by name and provided impeccable service. The 555 steakhouse was amazing, the food was unique and perfectly executed. Everything that was served was an experience. The Bonsai Teppanyaki was delicious, and the bento desserts box was wow!!! The bonsai sushi was delicious and allowed my family to try all kinds of incredible dishes. The pasta bar was good but definitely in need of bread. Guys burgers were great, including the fries.

So glad you enjoyed your first cruise on a new Carnival ship. I hope you have more wonderful cruises in the future, it can become addictive. I'm always reeling my husband in because he wants to cruise all the time, and I have to set limits since we have animals and on fixed incomes.
