YouTube Video Description

Is Carnival Radiance's Main Dining Room enough, or do you really need to spend extra money on specialty dining? Tonight, we're heading into the Main Dining Room for dinner to find out! We try a shrimp cocktail, Caesar salad, Chicken Cordon Bleu, roasted potatoes, baked potato, Carnival's famous Warm Chocolate Melting Cake, and a fresh fruit plate. Along the way, we'll share our honest thoughts on the food, service, portion sizes, and whether the complimentary dining experience is good enough for your cruise vacation. Many cruisers swear by specialty dining, while others stick with what's included. After this meal, we'll answer the big question: Is specialty dining worth the extra cost, or is the Main Dining Room all you really need? Have you sailed on Carnival Radiance?
