I was quite surprised to read your post. I've cruised Carnival, week long, and found the food to be quite acceptable. Certainly not as bad as you describe. In fact quite a bit better. So I wonder if it was the length of the cruise or the ship. In my experience even with essentially the same menus some ships prepare it much better than others.

I have heard form several people that the short cruise on Carnival is just for the people that like to stay up and drink and dance the night away. They also say that the food is delicious on the week long cruise. Maybe you are correct in saying it is the length of the cruise that makes all the difference. I must say that the experience on the short cruise was so bad that I am not willing to try the longer cruise. Dori

I went on Carnival two years ago and it was the worst food I ever had! The buffet was a dry whole turkey that they carved for you, an inedible chicken dish and spaghetti and meatballs the tasted like they poured the whole jar of basil in it. The food in the MDR wasn't much better. The waiter told us on the first night (lobster night) that this was the best night for food and for the rest of the cruise it went downhill and he was correct. I love Mexican food and when it came time for the midnight buffet it was all Mexican! I was so excited it looked great! I took a few bites and wondered how could they mess up the food so badly? We were on the Sensation on the short cruise and will never do Carnival again. We usually go on the Disney and are satisfied with the food. It is good buy not great. At least I didn't go hungry like I did on Carnival. We are going on the Liberty of the Seas 4-4-10 and I am very curious how the food will be. It is a week long cruise and I figure I will either gain the usual 5 pounds or loose 10! If you have been on Liberty of the Seas lately please let me know if you enjoyed the food. Thanks Dori
