We took our first family cruise at the beginning of the summer and it was also my first experience with Carnival Cruise Lines. I’ve enjoyed a romantic cruise with Princess Cruises Crown Princess and a girlfriend getaway cruise on the Norwegian Spirit (the cruise line currently offering Nickelodeon themed cruises). The thing that surprised me most with Carnival was the food. I honestly didn’t expect the cuisine to be as good as it was.
Each evening our family sat with the MommyMusings family for the early seating. My 14 year old son looked forward to each evening meal so that he could sample the various offerings that he doesn’t get at home. My husband enjoyed a steak – EVERY NIGHT. Little CajunMama had fun sitting next to MommyMusing’s daughter, being entertained by the wait staff, and dancing around the dining room. Me? Well, besides the very good and surprisingly affordably priced wine, I loved all the desserts!

I just returned from a cruise on the Carnival Legend. I have to agree with you on the food. Even my extremely picky daughter enjoyed her meals. We were happy that they offered a kids meal option in the main dining room. My only problem is that I should have cruised after BlogHer so the extra weight I gained wouldn’t bother me so much!
Hi Connie – Yes, the food in the main dining room was delicious and better than expected. I’m with you on the pre-Blogher weight gain! I loved how the Carnival wait staff even cut up the food for the kids and even adults if they wanted. Insanely spoiled! It was hard to return home to Hamburger Helper
I am still dreaming about the Carnival Grand Marnier Soufflé!
Mmm, I swear if I went on a cruise I’d have to be also visiting the gym every day as I’d never be able to resist all these gorgeous puddings on offer
