Creator's Key Takeaways

My name is Ruben and I am not a cruise expert, but I do know how to spell MDR.

The Radiant serves up Carnival classics that everyone loves. They have Guys Burger Joint, Blue Iguana Cantina, but its secret weapon is Shack's Big Chicken, the fried chicken restaurant.

Now, some people love the Italian Mexican fusion, but I personally wasn't a big fan.

The Panorama simply has it all. It boasts almost every popular carnival venue, including Guys Pig and Anchor Smokehouse Brew House, which is unique among all three ships.
