Love warm chocolate melting cake with butter pecan ice cream, guys burgers, the sauce they serve with the filet, the machine ice cream

Like mashed potatoes always with extra of the sauce they serve with the filet. What ever is that sauce? OMG I would drink that stuff.

[famof4togo]

I was hoping for a food thread...lol....I haven't sailed on Carnival in like 12 years so its been a while but I do recall that melting cake and am looking forward to it this March...I am hopeful desserts are better then our cruise last year on RCI....I was not impressed with RCI desserts and have heard Carnivals are better ???????

[scuba_ninja]

Indian: Love

Guy's "bbq": absolutely detest

Most desserts: meh

 

More love: Frog's legs, ox tongue, escargot, prime rib, Guy's burgers

Meh: Most fish dishes in MDR

[dmdiver]

I did not like the frog legs. Too small & too much garlic.

 

I love warm chocolate melting cake, creme brulee, soft serve ice cream, guys burgers, blue iguana tacos, lobster.

 

I like pizza, fruit at breakfast.

 

Meh - I'll have to get back to you after our May cruise.

[Alibaster McGillicutty]

What's up with the ox tongue and where do I find it?

 

I will add to my list;

 

Escargot: Love

[stevefrisco]

I did not like the frog legs. Too small & too much garlic.

 

.

 

They've changed the frog leg recipe with the new menus. The sauce is very garlic heavy and has a thickening agent that did not exist prior. Not nearly as good!

[Sundsgn]

Love:

Bitter and Blanc, that salami meat on the buffet by the salad bar (what is it, cervelat?), gazpacho, shrimp cocktail, wcmc, Red Frog Carribean Colada, that they have half and half and not powdered creamer, the fresh naan with the yogurt dip, that they have horseradish, blue iguana

 

Meh:

Pizza, salad bar side salads, coffee in buffet, bread options, burgers

 

Hate:

The ice cream (don’t hate me), the ice tea in the machines, French fries, that they don’t have snacks late afternoon or late night, those didja apps - not my style, over cooked beef

Love,

 

the indian food in mdr and (tandoor, on too few ships imo)

the chocolate muffins and cinnamon pastries on the continental breakfast buffet

the fruit plate for dessert in the mdr

smoked salmon (sea day brunch) or the former deli menu, dont see it on the new menu

huevos rancheros (sea day brunch), and salted caramel cheese cake, sea day brunch

mdr tiramisu and smores parfait.

many many more things, could go on and on.

 

meh

 

prime rib, used to enjoy it, but last few times it was more fat than meat

curried shrimp mdr, shrimp are tiny, and cannot taste the curry

fish and chips mdr, I should have known better than to order this, it was thick soggy batter, and a sliver

of fish, and not very good at all, but the curly fries and onion rings were crispy and hot, go figure!

lobster tail, hit or miss with this, usually a miss, but I am a lobster "snob" lol.

really not much more than these.

OOPs,,,forgot...I love chocolate, but do not like the warm chocolate melting cake, does not matter how cooked it is.

 

 

I do like Carnival's food, about 95pc of what I have had, I have liked, or liked a lot:D

I have never gone hungry when I cruise, I always come back weighing more than I left, and I did learn to stop thinking the plate had to be full when on the lido deck.:o

[CeleBrat]

LOVE: The Chipolte sauce with fries at Guys

CeleBrat

[cemebro]

Love: Guy's Burgers, stuffed mushrooms and the hot soups.

Like: Blue Iquana, chocolate cookies from the deli.

Meh: Guy's BBQ, pizza and the gross coffee on lido. And most of the desserts look way better than they taste. They have no flavor or sweetness.

[asalligo]

Love: Smoked Salmon, Lobster, Escargot, Guys Burgers, Warm Chocolate Melting Cake, Penne Mariscos, Sushi.

 

Meh: Pizza (too thin), Flat Iron Steak (Works as a shoe patch though), ice cream from that machine.

[WassupBro]

Does anyone else feel like the dessert all kind start tasting similarly bland towards the end of the cruise?

[famof4togo]

I was highly disappointed in the taste (often looked beautiful) of most desserts on my last cruise which was with RCI...however, I had heard that Carnival has better tasting desserts then RCI but from the mood on this board I might be disappointed in March....I am a sugar fanatic and since I am dieting up to my cruise and will not have had any sugar since 2017 I was hopeful for some yummy desserts but I won't hold my breathe apparently lol...then again after 3 months without sugar I bet they will taste good enough lol

[nchikk]

LOVE: Indian Vegetarian Dinner, Vegetarian Spring Rolls, Mushroom Cream Soup, Reuben w/ Potato Salad

LIKE: Steakhouse steaks, Pizza, Brunch Steak & Eggs, Tandoor offerings

MEH: Mehs are not worth meh-ntioning.

HATE: Most desserts (only because I just don't have a sweet tooth), Omelets (I detest eggs being cooked at such a high temp and for that degree of doneness)

The newish menus do not have as many good choices for dessert as there used to be. However I think the ones that are my taste are really good still! The buffet desserts however usually look really good but do not taste as good as I think they will.
