Review summary

I normally cruise on RC. I tried carnival Mardi Gras. This had to be one of the worst cruises I have ever been on. Food was gross and cold. My wife had to send food back twice for raw chicken and another time for raw lobster. They didn’t enforce washing hands before grabbing food. I saw a women grab herself and continue to grab food with her hands they did absolutely nothing. Chi bang was good as long as you don’t order Mexican side. We had to great servers there Rosey and Kni. Because they made sure or food was hot and cooked. Because of those two we ate at chi bang 3 of 7 nights.

We loved the ship so much and can’t wait to go back in Oct. Sorry you had a bad time but from everyone else it’s an awesome time.

I've seen plenty of reviews that absolutely loved the ship and all it had to offer. All other reviews said food was delicious and staff were fantastic. I've cruise three other times with Carnival on other older ships and had the best time. I'm looking forward to cruising on the Mardi Gras next April. Sorry you weren't able to enjoy it.

We are scheduled to sail on this awesome cruise in October and I already give it a 5 star review due to the fact that we have been on 10 other Carnival cruises that have been outstanding.

Service was excellent and food was excellent. Plenty to do. Only drawback was the placement of Main Dining if your cabin is forward
