Carnival Mardi Gras Emeril's Bistro SHOCKING REVIEW!!

[@pierrunnertravel2426]

Thanks for the honest review! I appreciate it when the review is real. Not everything on every cruise line is the best. I had chicken parm at Cucina del Capitano on Carnival on three different ships and they just could not get it right. Dry and overcooked each time.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Being from Louisiana, we do know the difference between pot roast and gumbo. it would have been great if they called it brown gravy. lol. Thanks ya'll. Hope you are well

[@sharoncruisingscene]

Great Video! Thanks for the honest review!

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks so much. Being from Louisiana we know a thing or 2 about gumbo and these dishes sadly they all weren't great

[@AdventuresAhead]

Thanks for the honest review… we never made it there!

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

You didn't miss much. I would try different things if I went back but as a Paid option it wasnt great

[@luvysfatlife]

Great honest review…..love it when reviews keep it real!

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

I really wanted to love it but it was lacking in a lot of things.

[@luvysfatlife]

@@TheTravelingGilberts gotta keep it real! Thanks for the honest review!

[@LifeisGoodToday]

thanks for sharing guys

[@jimmythompson7483]

i get the jambalaya and beignets every time and never disappointed. liked the reviews guys.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks Jimmy. I think they were so new when we're first tried them, we were skeptical on the second try but are glad we went back

[@TMeAdventures]

Great review guys! I love honest food reviews.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks ya'll. It was ok but was hoping for better

[@NoisyLittleCampers]

LOVE that you gave the reasons WHY it was good and WHY it was just not up to par. Tnx

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks Tom

[@MegsnSeas]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks so much Meg

[@VisosTravel]

Fabulous video. Loved all the comments. The grits and shrimp looks great as well as the iron skillet dishes. They may have to tone it down a little because remember the bathroom door take a while to close.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

lol thats right! I would get the shrimp and grits again. Idk about the rest

[@ANTOINETTEATFUN]

The shrimp looks really good! Thanks for such a great review

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks! That was a great dish

[@annehandley5204]

Thanks for the review. We only had breakfast there. I had the banana crepe which I thought was too sweet. Good but sweet. I guess I didn’t miss much by not going there for lunch or dinner!

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thankfully it was a small fee All the food from dinner was 17 dollars combined so not too bad

[@scottsmith9201]

I'll be willing to take yall's word on it. Good reveiw!

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks Scott If you like rice and gravy, order their gumbo ! lol geesh

[@dwightphelps5096]

So, we're now Floridans, but lived in the Far North of New Hampshire most of our lives so needless to say we have basicaly no appreciation of New Orleans style food. So, what would you suggest we try at Emeril's that is not spicy hot at all but still is authentic New Orleans style food? Maybe there's no such thing as non-spicy New Orleans food but figured you're the folks to ask. Thanks so much for your help...we watch all of your Mardi Gras videos as we sail at the end of September.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks so much. I would try the shrimp and grits. hope you have a great time. be safe

[@kennethstrauch8957]

I've got a Cajun wife who is telling me she doesn't want to go to Emeril's as she knows she'll be disappointed. Did y'all try the muffuletta? The gumbo didn't look like gumbo, I'll bring some biscuits with me on that one.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

It definitely wasn't gumbo. The shrimp and grits were decent . The one thing that it had going for it was that it didn't cost very much. It wasn't steakhouse prices. 5 dollors for most breakfast items and around 10-12 dollars at dinner.

[@tiffanyhanson3701]

Did you try the beignets? I had beignets twice in my life. Once in New Orleans many years ago and the second time at Emerils on the Mardi Gras. The beignets at Emerils tasted nothing like what I remember beignets to taste like. They were dense little bread cubes with powdered sugar, not pillowy and light.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

@tiffanyhanson3701 We have refused to try them for several years now. All of our cruising friends seem to think they are delicious. Being from Louisiana, we are obviously food snobs! Lol Especially, Louisiana food snobs! We gave in on this last cruise, and we should have held out forever. They were not good. That's it. That's all I'm gonna say. We aren't going to rain on everyone's parade, but obviously, you know! 🤣🤣

[@tiffanyhanson3701]

@ agreed.

[@peggymcguire405]

I had a coffee and a slice of the lemon ice box pie. Coffee was delicious. There was 4 of us, not one of us liked the pie.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

I heard the coffee was great! I wanted to like everything but it fell short

[@sheilaignacio6358]

You’re right that doesn’t look like my gumbo here in Tx

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

it was roast and gravy!!! I was disappointed. Thanks Sheila!

[@treyatl2006]

I knew that shrimp was going to be tough in that high heat that long.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

You ain't lying. pretty presentation does not equate taste

[@twftravelingwithfriends9402]

I don't like that ya have to pay extra for some resturants, especially if it isn't extra good.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

I'm glad it wasn't as much as the steakhouse i was hoping for better

[@TravelAdventureswithEricB]

The shrimp grits looked good,but that gumbo didn't look great and I'm a gumbo snob.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

the shrimpand grits were great but that gumbo was not Teresa made some gumbo last night and it was sooo good

[@TheNESevolution]

Wait a minute…it’s not GUMBO??? 😂 we wanted to try it but never made it …maybe next time

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

It tasted like pot roast!!! Not gumbo

[@monkeyb1820]

nothing wrong with an honest review. The scampi wasn't 'executed' properly, like you said: a sizzling hot cast iron is too hot for shrimp b/c it will just keep cooking them. The beignets from Emeril's look good. But if they're charging for these, they really need to make them right.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

Thanks Monkey B! You are absolutely right.

[@stevemoralez5529]

There are too many great places on the Mardi Gras to waste your time.

[@CC-TimesTwo]

LOL. Well I thought Emeril's was fantastic. Great flavors all around.

[@TheTravelingGilberts]

I am glad you liked it.
