Creator's Key Takeaways

Passengers are consistently describing Carnival food as terrible, the worst, and subpar.

Everything was insanely packed. And that isn't just about one or two sailings. This is a fleetwide concern.

The condition of the ship is abhorrent and is long overdue for a dry dock.

When the included dining is consistently described as terrible, cold, and unappetizing, it undermines the entire value of the cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Do your research on your specific ship and read recent reviews for that exact vessel.
βœ“Book newer ships if at all possible to avoid outdated maintenance issues.
βœ“Manage your expectations about food quality and budget for extra fees.
βœ“Expect crowds and consider bringing snacks just in case.
