I know the buffet line does not (or did not for our two previous cruises) have biscuits.

 

Does anyone know if the main dining room serve biscuits and gravy? yep, i'm a southern gal and that's the one thing i miss on the ship. They have grits for pete's sake..but no biscuits???????????????????:eek::confused:

 

i've never had breakfast in the MDR. so I thought i might try it next time.

 

thanks

Were the grits any good? Outside of the south, I've never had any that were good, and some were downright nasty. :(

Out of 5 days - one was good, 2 were ok and 2 were nasty... Yes had them every day - at least a "taste". I make GREAT cheesy grits:D and you can use them to fill holes in the wall after an hour or so.

I haven't had a decent bowl of grits since I left Shreveport. Up here it all tastes like cream of wheat. :eek:

 

Love the dual use as spackle! :D

That may be because it is!!!! lol

You need someone to send you a package of Jim Dandy grits... Remember it's 1 to 4... one of grits to 4 of water... plus some salt/butter and a handful of cheese right before serving... oh yeah with some homemade buttermilk biscuits and red eye sausage gravy.... Mmmmm gotta love it!

wow, thanks everyone...

so it seems not ship specific....it's hit or miss or none at all.

 

When I did eat breakfast, it was the buffet because i did not know the dining room was open for breakfast and lunch. I know this now and will be trying it.

 

i also know that I should check daily as they may or may not have biscuits. What a shame!!!! stewed bananas they have...whatever that is...but NO BISCUITS lol!!!!!!!!! that's crazy lol.

 

hmm, maybe a letter writing campaign to carnival is needed....:rolleyes:

 

and I agree with others regarding the grits...i love em...but i honestly can't recall if they were good or not lol...so i guess they were not that bad lol. but i'm sure i filled up on an omelete and nasty hashbrowns first lol.
