CRUISE FOOD!! Are You HUNGRY??? Carnival Mardi Gras Food Tour

There is so much good food on Carnival Mardi Gras... so we decided to compile it all into one video to show you. This was recorded throughout the week, so don't think we pigged out all in one day!
We try:
Guy's Burger Joint
Guy's Pig & Anchor
Shaq's Big Chicken
Blue Iguana Cantina
ChiBang
Cucina del Capitano
Pizzaria del Capitano
... and more.
Did we share everything on the ship... no, that would be a 2+ hour video and we would weigh 1000 pounds, but this will give you a good idea of the cruise food available... and you definitely see our favorites!

Out of the vlogers I watch, you guys do the best food reviews. Keep them coming. Love it!

[@joem2130]

I've heard so many people say they dislike carnival food and just the line in general but Everytime y'all post a video everything looks delicious and fun! Even better than Royal and Disney!

[@drdata1967]

They’re getting much better. Their specialty foods are really good & usually included, but their dinner menu is going to be the same menu on each cruise. They’ve had more or less the same MDR menu for almost 20 years. It’s good, but if you stay on the ship & do a back to back it’ll be exactly the same menu for both weeks in the MDR.

[@joem2130]

@@drdata1967 thank you so much for that Info! That must've been what people meant when they told me that, and it makes alot of sense to me. It would get really boring to keep eating the same menu in the MDR. When I cruised alot, I had a partner that worked on RCL. I actually never got the chance to eat in the MDR and would just go eat by myself in the windjammer and specialty restaurants. So I can't even compare RCL and Carnival MDR. It does look like Carnival specialty dining has more options than RCL but then again sometimes Jason and Elise will say that the food is "good" but not amazing (like bbq etc) I trust their judgement because we're both southern. Which line is your all time favorite?

[@drdata1967]

@@joem2130 just because of the size of the RCCL ships & because I’m not invested in their loyalty program, I tend to cruise on Carnival and Holland America as my main usual lines, but I’ve done about 20 Princess cruises, probably 6 or 7 NCL cruises , at least 3 RCCL cruises and a smattering of Celebrity and a few other older cruise lines that no longer exist. I actually like older smaller ships so I’m not locked up in going on the newest and biggest, I’ve taken a few European and river ships. I like them all. I tend to book Carnival often because they are cheap & im near the top or at the top of their loyalty programs and my wife doesn’t really like to travel so I’m usually bringing companions who tend to like going Carnival, I’m not at all picky.

[@machellpetersen5874]

I have one been on one Carnival cruise and it’s hit and miss. I think it just depends.

[@ChristianLehrer]

From this great video, and others like TravelTouristVideos and my own experience Carnival has good casual food. Pizza is among the best. Royal, Princess, Holland, NCL and Disney have overall better food, but they should as you are paying more. With Disney you are paying much more and their food is just middle of the pack. For what Carnival costs I am amazed any food is included.

[@aprilrichards7050]

I have lost 50 pounds in the last six months doing Keto and working out 7 days a week. We are on the Mardi Gras on September 18th. I am going off Keto for a week and going to eat everything I want I will go back on Keto after the cruise. I have been dreaming about all the food on Mardi Gras. Thank you for showing us all the food options.

[@billieflowers1]

I'll be on the ship with you. Wooooo hooooo

[@aprilrichards7050]

@@billieflowers1 The next 17 days are going to drag and then the cruise will be over in a blink of an eye.

[@darrinwi]

Try it all ! But some food is disappointing

[@alisonlucas6206]

I have lost 12 kilos so far. Have 8 months before 10 night cruise. Will be looking for healthy food but may not say no to French cheese.

[@mommy2cody6]

As someone that has done keto for 3 years and lost over 150 pounds i just want to warn you. I did this on a cruise and I was sooo incredibly sick I couldn't even enjoy my cruise. Also I got so bloated none of my new cruise clothes fit me within 2 days. What I do now when I travel is have a keto breakfast. Which is super easy to do on the cruise. Then at lunch I will go as keto as possible but maybe have a small bit of carbs. Then have whatever I want for dinner. I take 2 MCT pills at dinner. This works for me. I don't get sick and I am able to enjoy myself and still have cruise food.

[@alej8902]

For the best food tours we know we can count on Alisa and Jason 👍🏻

[@susanhurtado8787]

OK! You are making me so hungry. I can’t wait to cruise. ⚓️🚢

[@jackcampbell4465]

I have been a subscriber for a few years... best edited vlog I think I have seen. Not really sure Carnival is for me but I would book after this.

[@maryannbrooks6005]

Thank you for this video. I'm going on Carnival Mardi Gras in February 2022. So you guys review of foods are very helpful and appreciated.

[@jessicac.226]

You guys have tried voice over before, but this time you nailed it. It sounds natural and fun. Thanks for another great video yall!

[@rlproctor4219]

I love Blue Iguana 💙 my Favorite... can't wait to try Shaq Big Chicken.... Awesome 👌 Vlog

[@sonyah5081]

Thank you for sharing this food extravaganza. I am excited to try Cucina del capitano. That Short rib sold me.

[@amandamoore3470]

We just returned last month from 7 days on MSC Divina and it made me miss the food on carnival and Royal soooo much! We are cruising on the Mardi Gras January 22 and I cannot wait!

[@mailywoolsey2338]

Thank you for keep sharing your best travel with us, you are my favorite couple!!! God Bless you both, enjoy and be safe!!! Keep stay healthy and happy!!!

[@nataliebarsky1969]

I don't care what you do! I absolutely love watching all your videos! Can't wait to cruise again.

[@tonykirk6935]

Just watching this my scales are shouting "one at a time please" !! lol great video! EECC Rocks!

[@billieflowers1]

Lol. Mine has said that for years.

[@deebee_412]

Love this..yum! Thanks for the food tour. Well done video!

[@UltimateReviews1]

The editing was awesome in this vid, and as a huge foodie, I loved hearing you both give your opinions on the restaurants on board. Best travel content on KZbin period! Stay awesome.

[@EECCTravels]

Thanks so much we appreciate that!!

[@susanhurtado8787]

The two of you are always having so much fun. Can’t wait until we can cruise again…. Cruising is calling us. We have A short cruise San Francisco to San Diego in November.

[@LindaD2023]

Thanks for sharing! Looked amazing!

[@sirrobertrobertson2270]

Wow.! Sure that's enough food. That is a food coma for the cruise to eat at all the places. But you have to have fun when on cruises, right. Have fun and stay safe. Cheers.!

[@sjarm4]

Such a great video idea! Thank you!

[@aussiejohn5835]

Oh, how I envy you right now!! I know you filmed this over a number of days but my brain is telling me differently and I am ready to burst just watching this. I would be heading to my balcony and experiencing wind of epic proportions (nothing to do with the weather). Those chicken "burgers" looked amazing. I had a guys burger once but he didn't appreciate it and chased me for miles.

[@americanazheck]

Shipping out on mardi gras in 28 days. Seen alot of videos. Most are sooo boring. Yours is fun to watch. Both yall are just living the dream and enjoying the moment. Well done gang!

[@dianeallen7313]

I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this video. I'm not a fan of watching people eat- open mouth, chew, nod head, thumbs up (or a disgruntled look.) They're always all the same. But at the end of this video I was thinking "that's it?? I wanted to see more!" Also I love when Alisa winks at Jason. So cute!

[@ronh8662]

This is why we cruise! Loved this video. Thanks!

[@chriswiseman5985]

Going with my sons on Mardi Gras in May 2024 ... really looking forward to spending time with them. My youngest will finally be 21! Thank you both for this video on the food!

[@susanwhite2466]

Alysa, I am so glad to see someone else smell their food before they take a bite. I do the same thing. And so does my daughter,she a very sensitive smell and if she doesn't like the smell she's not putting it in her mouth. Im from Texas and I'm pretty critical on BBQ especially Brisket and pulled pork. Great video.

[@glendagrant9042]

I have a very sensitive smell. If I ever get that no smell forget it. I cannot eat it no matter how much effort I put in or what it cost. I always say do you smell that. It makes my husband crazy. He says you try to smell things. I don't. It just happens. Not just food but stuff too.

[@ksan8222]

My goodness, I get sooo hungry watching these.

[@Tina2tu]

This is such an awesome and creative way to show us all the food on a cruise. I love it!! Thank you for your content!

Thanks for the food review it’s was awesome . Nice to see all the great food offers on Marci Gras. That’s a big part of cruising .🍻

Shaq's Chicken is awesome! I was skeptical of the Nashville Hot sauce but I was pleasantly surprised it was pretty spot on. And the breakfast chicken biscuits are so good!! Nice video BTW!!

[@lisamarie1470]

I look forward to all of this yummy looking food, when I sail, next summer, esp Rudy’s. Thanks for sharing! Hey Dee & Jay👋🏼

Y'all's editing has never been bad, but y'all have really stepped up your game on editing. Love it

[@julieparker5029]

We ate at Cucina and ordered chicken parmesan. It was so delicious but we were shocked it did not come with a side of spaghetti. Loved your food tour. Jason was obviously in love with that beef braised short rib.

[@andreatamayo7215]

Looks bomb

[@makaylalarry6047]

A lot of chicken Parmesan meals in general don’t come with spaghettini

[@laguns64]

I've heard Carnival is pretty hit-and-miss with regard to food, but some of those dishes looked scrumptious!

[@stevenwatson2699]

Most look better than they taste

[@darrinwi]

Just got off Mardi Gras ! Loved the chicken! Loved the Italian . Thought that palm dining room was modeled after a 70s cafeteria

[@jessicavaia2122]

I really enjoy your channel so down to earth give honest reviews. I love the facial expressions they make me laugh. I’m now hungry after watching all that food .

[@EECCTravels]

Yeah, I couldn’t lie if I wanted too! My face says it all.

good idea. the rancheros looked god.

I just read The Salt Path by Raynor Winn and they talk about virtual eating. After watching this video, I feel like I just had a virtual feast!

[@arthurrankin3280]

Y'all are making me so hungry! I want orancini and chicken parmesan.

[@roliver6580]

I've never cruised Carnival, so never had pig and anchor. I have however with many mistakes and lessons learned over the years found that no bbq is like the bbq you cook at home or have from a small "craft" prepared restaruant served and eaten same day, real time. I think any bbq you have that is "meh" or better in any place that has to put it out in volume like this place does is a win because it is what it is. Not bad. Not great, but fit the bbq fix you may have been liking for. Great review gang, thank you.

[@vittoriovuocolo2438]

You know it. That stuff on the ship is factory made. Then heated as needed.

[@NewYorksFinest1]

Omg the pig and anchor is so freaking good. Mm mmm if you can go when it's free, pile up cuz it's awesome

[@treyatl2006]

Y’all did all these eateries and still didn’t get to try them all... I can’t wait until Christmas. As always great video!!!

[@EECCTravels]

Yes! There are so many places to eat! And some have different menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

[@larrymayberry2312]

We so miss cruising, but my cardiologist advised against getting the jab. Maybe one day we can sail again. Thanks for letting us travel with you guys.

[@gailcreighton5484]

Hmmm my cardiologist has a large sign on his office door encouraging ALL his patients to get vaccinated. Her office said if your immune system is so compromised that you cannot receive the vaccine you would be too fragile to handle a trip to the grocery store never mind a crowded ocean cruise.

[@machellpetersen5874]

@@gailcreighton5484 maybe their doctor is looking at the FDA warning about heart inflammatory. Not everyone is the same. Your condition maybe different than theirs. Your doctor knows your history and their doctor knows theirs. It’s no one else business anyways. And how do you know they go to the grocery store? That the thing everyone just assumes! I know someone with a type of autoimmune disease and her doctor told her she can’t get the vaccine, she can’t even get the Flu vaccine because it will kill her. Again everyone is different.

[@amandamoore3470]

My doctor suggested I not get the Pfizer or moderna as well. I ended up getting the j&j very nervously but had no serious side effects :) prayers that you’ll be able to cruise soon!

[@toddb6576]

You making me sooooooooo hungry right now! You guys did a great review. If I ever go to Carnival, at least I can know what to expect from food. I am guessing some of the food was pre-cooked and brought on the shipt to re-heat and serve. Apple B's style?????
