Carnival - The Food

Continuing my Blogs about my past Cruise on the Carnival Liberty I will now talk about the food.

There are four basic ways to eat on the ship.
1) The Main Dining room, split into two separate dining areas Gold and Silver.
2) Emile's, Lido Deck buffet area. Four separate buffet lines, plus three extra stations, plus a dessert station.
3) Room Service
4) The Pizza Station, Burrito Bar, Deli Sandwich shop.

First the main dining rooms. We only ate in the main dining rooms for Diner. And each meal was great. They offer the usual cruise menu of appetizers, salads, soup (one cold one hot) main entrees including beef, fish, chicken, vegitarian. They also offer their Carnival Classics, a set menu that is always available. A steak, a pasta. a fish. The menu for the week ranged from Coq au Vin to Prime Rib twice to Lobster. With pastas dishes each night that were real tasty (this is comming from an Italian that is picky about his pasta). There was only a Ceazar salad offered, this is bad because I would have liked a normal salad onece or twice. The soups were real tasty and flavorfull. Carnival is not shy about stretching its culinary wings and getting creative with the spices. Some Cruise lines might not put the spice in their dishes fearin that people will not like it, but not Carnival. And to this I tip my hat at them. The desserts, they only offered two different choices (plus the usual ice cream fare) each night. And they were all great.

Room service, we did not spend much time in the room. So the only time I had room service was for my morning coffee, which was always prompt and hot.

The Lido deck, has great food also. Breakfast had the standard fare each morning, with some twists. Like differently prepared breakfast potatoes and a carving station with fresh ham three timees on the cruise. There is also two omlett stations, but they were always busy so I did not partake. Lunch always had a theme, French, Italian, Indian. And aside from salads and lunchmeats there was five dishes presented in this theme each day, plus a carving station and desserts There is also a stirfry station (the omlett station) and this was also tasty. There is a place called Fish and Chips, but it is upstairs on deck 10 and real out of the way, so I did not visit it.

The last is the pizza bar which is always open and has fresh hot pizza all day. A grill that serves hamburgers, fries and nachos poolside. A Burriot bar where they will fill a wrap with whatever you want. And the Deli that has fresh hot and cold sandwiches. And they also have a Suchi bar on deck 5 open also.

Overall I was real pleased with the food. Very constitant and good. If you have bland taste buds you might want to watch what you eat. But if you like flavorfull food , you will be in for a treat.
