Creator's Key Takeaways

We did eat here once on the ship and the food was phenomenal, but it is alikart.

The service was some of the best that we had on the ship.

I would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic ice cream, but it is an additional charge.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Come in early to the Marquee Theater to get a seat closer to the show.
โœ“If there's a queue at the Ocean Bar, maybe go somewhere else.
โœ“If you do find that one of these three restaurants is more to your liking, you can change your reservations in the Carnival Hub app.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Come onboard the Carnival Encounter with me! I have filmed all public spaces deck-by-deck to show you this beautiful vessel and everything she has to offer. Carnival Encounter was originally built for Princess Cruises and sailed as Star Princess until 2021 when she was transferred to P&O Australia to be renamed Pacific Encounter. In March 2025, P&O Australia was officially dissolved after 25 years of operation and Encounter, along with her sister Adventure, were taken on by Carnival. Encounter has a capacity of 2,600 guests and 1,100 crew members. Current differences to the rest of the Carnival fleet include rotational dining, EDGE Adventure Park and adults-only stage entertainment.
