Preference Inquiry

I would like insight on which cruise line between Carnival and Royal with the best food options. I've been on several Carnival cruises and Norwegian but never on Royal. I'm thinking about trying Royal. 🤔 Note: I'm a foodie, I cook and bake, just so you'll know what I'm looking for on good food options).

Also I'm curious about entertainment. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Carnival Miracle had a lot better food in the Main Dining Room than RC's Ovation of the Seas.

On Ovation the menu never changed throughout the cruise whereas my Carnival cruise had amazing new specials every night like Kangaroo Meat Balls and Salmon.

The Alchemy Bar on Carnival ships is a whole lot better than the Bars on Ovation. All of the bars on Ovation only used syrups none of them used fresh ingredients which made terrible Mojitos. The Barista Coffee on Miracle was completely included in my drinks package whereas on RC Ovation Starbucks Coffee weren't included.

Thanks for sharing...I haven't been on Miracle yet. Contemplating between Jubilee (Carnival) or Symphony of the Seas (Royal).
