We were on our first Carnival cruise in October and found the food at the Lido Buffet less than desirable. While the offerings at the deli were acceptable, the main buffet and pizza venue were terrible. To be fair, the fish options were very tasty, but I found it difficult to find much else to be enjoyable. The spareribs were very hard to chew and the choice of sauce could have been better. The pizza was tasteless and the i e cream was gritty. For these very reasons, I ended up tossing a lot of food. Perhaps Carnival should address food quality if they really want to cut down on food waste.
