la cuisine de carnival

i'm baaaaack!! i haven't weighed myself so i don't know how much damage was done. although, i didn't weigh myself before i left so i suppose it is a moot point. i figure if i spend a few more minutes at the gym, i should be good to go! ;)

the cruise was a lot of fun--i actually got to the point where i couldn't eat anymore. halfway through dinner my stomach just said NO MAS! we had 24 hour room service (though i never used it), 24 hour pizza and ice cream/frozen yogurt, all you can eat buffets for lunch, and then a sit down three course dinner every night.

i would say that the food is okay. i think it is just impressive all the options they had. you could go to the grill and get rotisserie chicken, get sushi, indian food and there was also a deli if you didn't feel like eating at the buffet. i would say it's maybe a step above old country buffet. most of the pictures that i took were from dinner along with some yummy treats once we were docked on land.

without further ado...

cocktail shrimp appetizer---it was alright


tilapia was a little dry, though the litlte cup of mac and cheese was amazing!


yummy desert


spaghetti carbonara for an appetizer...that's right.


LOBSTER TAIL!! it was ok, i liked the shrimp more. and you can never go wrong with mashed potatoes

a delicious apple pastry desert with a cup of caramel sauce

sushi sampler--the mussel was especially tasty

jamaican jerked chicken..not one of my smartest choices

not so yummy cheesecake! big disappointment :( at least it looked pretty

ok, literally the worst 'eggs benedict' i've had in my life

so i don't really feel like i had authentic mexican food while i was there...oh well, next time. the tacos were alright. really the beer was tastiest!

the other mexican meal i had was much tastier though not very pretty looking

coconut juice!!! (it was warm...but it was fun to drink out of one)

i loved loved the way they cut the limes there. always got plenty of juice. the us should adopt this method.

yummy yummy mangoes with chili and lime juice

guava popscicle

seafood in lobster sauce with saffron rice....ehh it was ok. kind of wish i went for the lamb my brother had that night.

chateaubriand beef...whatever that means. it was ok. again, i think i enjoyed the mashed potatoes more hehe

grilled portobello mushroom salad was amazing! usually i'm not a fan of the shrooms but there were very tasty

the last night's meal. beef of some sort. wasn't too bad! i think i only ate about 1/4 of it because my stomach had had enough at that point
