Carnival Liberty - Dining Options and Cuisine

Overall, I thought the Carnival Liberty dining options and food quality were very good. Just imagine serving 3,000 hungry people 24 hours per day!

Since we were usually anxious to get ashore and go exploring, we ate breakfast in the buffet-style Emile's Restaurant. It had all the standard fare, including an omelet station. Although most of the other passengers also ate in Emile's for breakfast, the buffet lines were manageable; we never had to wait too long.

The Carnival Liberty had many options for lunch, and we tried them all. Although the dining room was open for lunch, most passengers had a casual lunch either by the pool or in the food court area on the Lido Deck. Emile's had a buffet lunch with a different country featured each day, but we also had pizza, fish and chips, a grille, and Asian food. There was certainly something for everyone!

Dinner was our favorite meal. We ate in the Golden Olympian Dining Room. The food was delicious, and the portion sizes just right. Our Indonesian waiters remembered our names and usual requests (white wine, decaf coffee, etc.) from the first night. They anticipated our needs, and were exceptional.

We ate at Harry's Supper Club ($30 per person cover charge) one night. The presentation and taste of the food was marvelous. One word of caution--the portion sizes are larger than those in the main dining rooms, and you will need to allow at least two hours for dinner. Was it worth the $30 extra? We all agreed it was, but others might not.
