As a person raised in the north, Canada to be exact, the only thing I can compare Carnival biscuits to is a hockey puck.

Totally agree about the biscuit! I was so excited to see that Carnival added Biscuit and Gravy to the menu but the biscuits were as hard as a rock.

I didn’t get the Guy’s burger until the last full day on my cruise. So mad at myself - would have had it for every lunch - delicious!😋

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?

Agree. Cold and hard biscuits. But won’t keep us from cruising on Carnival. They have other foods.

That “biscuit abomination” took me out🤣🤣🤣. I needed that laugh.

I absolutely judge a breakfast restaurant on their biscuits and gravy!

We just had our first ocean cruise. It was on Holland America to Alaska. I am looking at the pics you took of what you ate on Carnival and most of that food looks pretty sad. The food on Holland America was much more visually appealing than what I just watched, as well as being surprisingly delicious.

I love the Ruben sandwiches on Carnival!

You had me at those green olives on the grab'n'go salads. You can keep your granite biscuits (maybe as doorstops?). I judge a salad place by whether they have green olives or not. Firenze passes the test. (So does the "Fresh Creations" salad bar on the Vista and Excel classes.)

I ordered the biscuits and gravy last week on Carnival Spirit. When they brought it out, I wondered what it was. I agree with you about real biscuits. I won’t make that mistake again

[FraserAtSea]

I was delighted to see the pizza feature on here - I absolutely LOVED it on my recent Carnival cruises!

[bridgetlapointe]

I was on the same Firenze cruise as you and saw you several times (didn’t want to interrupt you while you were filming). Your assessment of the biscuit is 💯. It was dense, dry and flavorless.

[Radioguy-tfrp]

I’ve sailed Carnival many times and the food has always been good to me, and, yes, I’m an American.

[ElrodTMcGillicuddy]

You got the biscuit thing spot on! Having grown up only a few miles from the Loveless and the Beacon Light, most anything else pales in comparison, especially those Carnival hockey pucks.

I never tried the biscuit but the worst Carnival food in my opinion is the eggs Benedict. Instead of being a soft poached egg with rich hollandaise sauce… it’s a hockey puck. And a rubbery hockey puck at that. Love your videos Tony.

I totally agree about the I tried it on the Carnival Jubilee and it was hard as a rock!!!

[LizzieMcT]

"This biscuit is terrible! Here, try it." 😂 I'm going to guess that Bojangles biscuits are on the forbidden item packing list.

I knew I liked you, Tony! My favorite dessert is also Creme Brulee - It's amazing when set on fire with some sweet vanilla based liquor. Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for another great show :)

TONY, I am from CALI. We were just on that cruise during spring break. Unfortunately, we did not get to be on the Firenze. I really wanted to try the food on this ship. I would have liked that ship better than what we were on. Thanks for getting out west for a cruise. Good news as usual. Keep it up.
