Food was average - carnival has had the same menu for years - change it up a bit. On last night there were 2 pasta dishes as main entrees - mac and cheese? That cost all of about 20 cents to make - maybe less. The pasta dishes i tried were lukewarm at best. No really good fish dishes other than salmon, how about some halibut or swordfish? Breakfast buffet was the same every day - same menu in dining room as well other than the sea days. The Indian Buffet and pizza were the best food on the ship. Lines at the deli were ridiculous - why not have 2 at each end of the ship if its so popular and leave a buffet open longer - you already know when people get back on the ship from a day at the beach they are hungry -

The ship itself was immaculate always someone cleaning the bathrooms and common areas. Comedy shows were pretty good but other entertainment was meh. The cruise directory did her best to engage the crowds. Just some people especially in the dining rooms did not look like they were enjoying themselves - perhaps because they were seated with strangers or tables too close, not sure.

Embarkation was slow - if you want me to be there at a certain time and I am there why do I have to board 2 hours later? Debarkation, a joke. Two hours of waiting around after my assigned time.
