Carnival Mardi Gras

Guy's Burger Joint

I don’t know if they changed something or if it was my imagination but it wasn’t quite as good as in the past on other ships.

Bonsai Teppanyaki

$$ we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the food. Everyone at our 10 person table opted for the fried rice which was very tasty. Everyone was given a few shrimp as an appetizer along with a soup and salad. The main options were shrimp, lobster, filet mignon, & chicken or a combo. The filet cut like butter and the shrimp and lobster were both fresh and flavorful. The portions are huge. The desert bento box had interesting small bites and I enjoyed them all.

Emeril’s Bistro 1396

$5 small plates for breakfast. The shrimp and grits were perfect. The shrimp and grits does have a little kick and and a topping of sausage pieces. My daughter liked the bananas foster crepes but it’s definitely more of a dessert than a breakfast. My husband had the breakfast po-boy and it has egg, cheese, bacon and sausage. The menu says bacon or sausage but they told us it was a misprint.

Big Chicken by Shaq

The breakfast fried chicken biscuit is very sweet because it’s dipped in a honey sauce and also has a slathering of honey butter. My daughter loved it. My husband loved the sausage egg and cheese biscuit. There were never any lines and was a fast and easy option. The Most Dominant Ever (MDE) basic sandwich was very good but not in the class as Popeye’s.

Palm Restaurant

Love that the tables are spaced farther apart. The food was very good on the first formal night. The prime rib was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The lobster was fresh and flavorful but small.

Chibang!

Lunch- we all had pick your own burrito bowls. The food freshness and quality was excellent. They serve Chinese fried noodles with a sweet and sour sauce and a tomato salsa with tortilla chips as an appetizer and both were good. I enjoyed the flan and my husband enjoyed the churros.

JavaBlue Cafe

They need to figure out a better way to serve the guests more efficiently. The lines were 30 minutes in the morning.

Bonsai Sushi

$ Three of us each ordered a few things to share. The only option that was less than ideal was a noodle bowl with beef because the red broth was lacking flavor. The teriyaki beef at the bottom of the menu is like a filet mignon- it was fantastic.
