Hi Susie.. Congrats on your upcoming cruise!! I can relate with ya on on trying to keep the pounds down. I think most of us can. I usually pick up a few extra but then work it off when I get home. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great cruise!! --Michael
We are sailing on the Panorama in May. Can’t wait to have all this yummy food 😋 Even tho’ JiJi’s is more traditional/authentic Asian food, it was one of my favorites places on Carnival.
Just got off of the Panorama Dec 10th. The food was average at best. After waiting for 3 years of covid we were disappointed with Carnival. When Guy Fieri's hamburgers made it to 2nd best meal, and that I lost 1pound on the cruise, we'll be looking for a different cruise line next time. Their Steakhouse for $48 upcharge per person doesn't even serve prime or choice cuts. The call it premier beef. Something you can get at Walmart. Carnival seemed to under staff the ship. Using the MDR we would get decent service but the servers would disappear towards the end, getting more and more tables. Heck, our room steward (cabin attendant) introduced himself the next to last day of the cruise. And the lobster night just wasn't there. Carnival seemed to be cutting corners on everything. The cabin we had 6457 was great. Although we were at the back of the ship, it was very smooth sailing. Two super great crew members were Alejandro (table 556 - MDR) and Shaina. She was special. She works at the dessert bar upstairs at the buffet. If you need milk or chocolate milk, she's the one to ask. Even if she was busy she would get my fix on milk. Always a smile. She saved the cruise. Carnival keeps it hidden so she's the person to go to. Of course we tipped both Alejandro and Shaina. We have the gold card. We have a cruise that we already booked with Carnival later next year. Hope it's better. Oh, best meal was the short ribs at the Italian restaurant. They were incredible, as always.
May I say I like the way you communicate and speak. When it comes to food options I like that you say it is included rather than it's free like others say. We paid for it in the price of the cruise. I'm tired and I'm going to bed
Would you say Carnival has better food than Royal Caribbean? I was just on Wonder of the Seas and I was very disappointed. I have not sailed on Carnival for many years.
@Luis Martinez - I've heard from many cruisers that Royal Caribbean's food is much better than Carnival. I've only cruised with Carnival and the buffet is garbage!
Do the crew stay on the ship overnight or do they return home ? There seems to be a lot of crew, I’m sure there’s not space for them all to stay. Is it possible that they can stay in the cabin with passengers if you take a fancy to one of them ?
We sailed Liberty 5 years ago. We're doing Panorama this year. Guys Burger was over cooked and just not good so I'll avoid that. I will sample the smoke house which wasn't offered on our last cruise. Looking forward to a great time
Just because you had an overcooked burger five years ago on a different ship is no reason to assume your next one won’t be good. Different people will be cooking them…
Hey Carol, Thank you for your comment. Yes the pizza times did just change but hey if changes have to be made, honestly I think it was a good move rather than some other things that could have changed. Thank you so much for watching!! --Michael
@@kendrachaney1973 I am going to do that on my first day when I board the ship. This is a secrete hack many people don't realize. Brisket on your burger with BBQ Sauce! Please tell me how it goes!
The Blue Iguana Cantina Mexican food is God awful! It's Carnival's interpretation of Mexican food. I ordered a beef burrito but I had to throw it away after the first bite! A burrito at Taco Bell is a 100 times better.
Guys burgers are a joke.....on us.haha ,it's the same greasy stomach ache burger carnival has had for years only now theirs a guy burger sign on them. Disgusting,and all the condiments sit out in the heat getting spoiled
I’m cruising the panorama in November. Thanks for the tips!
us too - I just hope they're up and running when we go.
Thanks for all the info great video
Thank you for the food review, we are sailing on Panorama September 2022. Can't Wait, may have to work out to keep pounds down.

I loved it so much❤
Thank You Sr! You made me hungry!
Thanks you for the info. I am going to be traveling on the Breeze in the Caribbean but a lot of these eating spots are there as well.
Hey Deb, Carnival Breeze has always been my favorite ship so far. You can see that in my other videos. I promise you will not be disappointed.

1 word: Corona virus.
Be sure to hit JiJi's on Sea days at lunch and on Embarkation Day (lunch) It's included.
Im going in May of this year! How was your experience around that time?
Was so good as always at Jiji
Nice thank you
Great video. I did not know the signature restaurants were open at lunch for no cost👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Only some of the restaurants and they are only open for a short amount of time some only for 90 minutes

A tip I learned at Chipotle for Blue Iguana ask for your Burrito to be Double Wrapped and ask for extra ingredients.

I looking to book this cruise for my Birthday January 2021..hopefully the Covid-19 pandemic is over
Lol
The cost at the pig and anchor at night won’t break the bank.
There's a typo in the thumbnail. It says Carinval instead of Carnival.
@Modest Mind25.. Wow good catch!! Thank you!!
@@CoastalCruiseControl glad you fixed it 👍

Sailing next month, Nov 2021 with the Panorama for the first time. What did you think of the Lido buffet?
Do the crew stay on the ship overnight or do they return home ? There seems to be a lot of crew, I’m sure there’s not space for them all to stay. Is it possible that they can stay in the cabin with passengers if you take a fancy to one of them ?
Lol..Grrrl.. Good question probably not tho.. Regulations
They have floors below level 1 Were they stay
Hahahah
Lmao

Pizza is not 24 hours anymore. But really close.

What are the hours now? Disappointed to hear that i may not be able to get my late night pizza 😢
And you get charged for all room service. Except continental breakfast.
Shh don't tell anyone get a Guys Burger then head over to Guyy's Pg and Anchor and add the BBQ fixins to your Burger!
okay… THIS is genius!!! 🤤
i’ll be on the panorama next month - totally trying that!

Great idea but that sounds too filling and no room for other stuff ha ha! At almost 50 I just can’t eat like that anymore 😢
Same fixings in either place check it out been there did that
@@kendrachaney1973 howd it go
I'm also going in may 2020

that's too bad - we think the blue iguana is amazing - I especially like their huevos rancheros
Dont agree i loved the burrito
Guys burgers are a joke.....on us.haha

Disgusting,and all the condiments sit out in the heat getting spoiled
to each their own - we think they're amazing.
Dont agree but to each his own
