We were just on the Inspiration and the Any Time Dining did not sing or dance.

We were on the same cruise. Our cabin was on the Upper deck. I agree that the crew was very friendly, and was always greeting us as we walk by. This was our 11 cruise with Carnival and may be the last. With every cruise we have taken, we have noticed that the buffet and dining room food and service gets worse. We love the steak house and the Italian restaurant, they are well worth the extra money, which the smaller ships don't have. The taco, burger, and pizza joints are good. You know when the kitchen can't even serve a baked potato that isn't over cooked, that they need help. Formal night no longer offers lobster as a choice without upgrading to a $20 extra. I could write a lot more about the disappointment we have with the cheap food and the reduced staff of the dining room, but I thing you understand my feelings.

We also had the faster to the fun which we feel is worth the extra expense. Once we get our platinum status we won't need it any more, if we stay with Carnival.

Since we have not been on any other cruise lines we can't compare, but several of our friends keep telling us that the ships are mostly the same, but the quality of the food on some of the cruise line are a lot better. Cruising isn't cheap, but I wish Carnival would stop lowering food quality and staff, raise the price a few dollars and make your food service better.
