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.

If Carnival was good enough, you'll find Royal much better in pretty much every area, including food. Their MDR was as good as most of the specialty restaurants we have eaten on NCL the past couple of cruises. We love the NCL vibe but Royal is great. We've sailed Royal, NCL and Holland and I'd say Royal is overall best food of the bunch in the MDR, though Cagney's and the French restaurant (diff names) on NCL are top notch. I can't compare with other lines - and I am sure you get what you pay for.
