If you want to feel good and live longer only eat once a day. Way too much food there.
@marjoriesell8079 13 күн бұрын
Every cruise I've ever taken ends up the same. I eat so much more rich food and desserts than normal. My excuse is that "I never make that at home! ". By day four, I feel exhausted and weak. I have to stop eating desserts and embrace a simple diet with mostly raw foods. It's so much fun at the time, eating like there's no tomorrow, but it becomes an assault on my body. Moderation is the answer. One rich meal should be followed by simple fare. Anybody else feel the same?

My best tip is if you're gonna order French fries or anything fried, specify no salt and it's likely to come out freshly made and hot.
@colleenmcbride3656 28 күн бұрын
That's not necessarily true, at least nowadays. Fast Food restaurants have learned this is something people do, so they keep unsalted fries in one area, and because it's still pretty uncommon, you're actually getting older fries than if you just got the salted that they keep having to remake.

My biscuit sentiment was the same. As someone who lived in Atlanta area for several years in my youth, I not only ate restaurant biscuits regularly, but learned how to make them, (Had my own flour can and biscuit bowl!), and can tell a good one from a bad one. The breakfast biscuit is inedible to say the least! You may be able to use them for hockey pucks...even the gravy doesn't make them edible!!! I think we need to explain to John Heald the difference between a biscuit and hard tack!

Thanks for the cruise updates! We never tried the biscuits and gravy on Firenze. Now I'm happy we didn't. We ate in the MDR once and we're dissatisfied with the stingy portion size. The Cornish game hens were cut in half leaving less meat than a couple of small chicken wings. The size of the Cesar salad was a joke as well. We left there as hungry as we entered. Good favor though!

Ive been on the celebrity cruise ships and there are two things to stay away from the hot dogs and the scrambled eggs, they are instant.if you want real scrambled eggs you need to go to the cook at the breakfast station and ask him to make you eggs the way you want it. My wife and I have a free 4 day cruise on carnival cruises. We are a little hesitant to go because of the negative feed back we have heard from friends, Facebook. .

I couldn't agree more about those abominable biscuits. I had some on the Carnival Radiance two years ago. I tried them several times over three days, thinking I just got an old batch, but they would have been better served in the NHL. I really love a good biscuit and gravy breakfast, but I have yet to find anything close on a cruise ship. Carl's Jr. and Whataburger are the only ones close to my homemade biscuits and gravy.

The sad thing is about the biscuits is that it does not require a chef to make them. I've been making good biscuits since I was about ten years old. But, I will admit that even today, some 65 years later, my gravy sometimes ain't what I intended. It isn't consistent -- sometimes really good and sometimes it's better to put fig preserves on the biscuits than the gravy.
@a.fredjohnson7099 Ай бұрын
A while back, I put on my survey that it would be nice if they had biscuits and gravy at breakfast. Surprisingly, on our next cruise, there it was. Biscuits were as you describe. Needed a sharp blow to chip off bite size pieces. Gravy was also a bit thin on the sausage. Overall, Carnival's baked goods are pretty good, not sure why they cannot make a biscuit. I get lazy and use Pilsbury frozen Grands at home. They are fantastic compared to what Carnival puts out.

The biscuits. the gravy. I try it almost every time, but you are absolutely correct.They are a total waste of time.
