Sail Date: Dec 2004

This was our 31st cruise. Our 6th with Carnival. Probably the last. We were disappointed with the food and service in the dining room. All the meals were cold. The waiters have too many tables and we were in the Napoleon Dining room which is far from the Kitchen. On the second day I ordered oatmeal with sliced banana and an omelette. The omelette arrived first. I ate it and told the waiter I had ordered oatmeal. He said "don't worry lady, you will get all your food." I found the service staff rude and hurried. The breakfast scene happened again on another day. I just ignored it as I'm not going to let anything ruin my cruise.

Six from our table ate one night at the alternative dining room. I was a little apprehensive since the food was not good in the dining room but was pleasantly surprised. We had a lovely meal and the service was excellent. One of the best meals I've ever had.

We were not invited to the repeater's party as Carnival has no record of our sailing with them in the past. My husband talked to the purser and they gave us 4 coupons to use for 5x7 photos. They only had 6x9s so wanted to charge a dollar per picture. The only 5x7s they take are in the dining room and at our table couples sat across from each other and the photographers wouldn't take the time to move us and take couple pictures. We explained this to the purser and they adjusted our account.
