Platinum cruiser here. Love Carnival. The MDR limiting entrees is a game changer though. Not because I eat 2 pounds of food at each dinner or anything. Hear me out...
My Food quality on the Ecstacy was horrible in August. The cruise I just got off of last week out of Jax on the Elation was even worse. Had I NOT ordered 2 entrees a night after the first night I would not have had decent food and sometimes inedible.
MCDonalds Would have been better. I am no foodie. But I know you don't cook any fish to the point it tastes like an eraser. You don't cook chicken one night that its a hockey puck but the next night it was actually chewy raw (and I like my chicken cooked to the least temp as possible that is safe for consumption.) You don't serve pasta with less than a teaspoon of sauce that's cold and chewy. You also don't serve a kid about half a pound of perfect braised short ribs and send her mother a single burnt end a chunk of fat. Lastly, and I know it has nothing to do with an entree but I sent back EVERY melting cake for all 5 nights. All over cooked like a brownie. I even tried the last 2 nights THREE times. How hard is it to cook a signature dish?
To Carnival. Work on your quality control first. You would probably have A LOT less food waste.
