This is what it could look like in the morning and at night...
Much like the casual/formal dinners, you can also enjoy breakfast in the dining halls. In the dining halls you always have to check-in using your carnival card and/or name. They will then take you to a table, however, they do work to accommodate you and make sure you are super satisfied; and I can attest to that. During all of the dinners, my friends and I asked to sit in the same section as our server from the first night and they provided.
During this specific breakfast, I actually went alone and once I checked in, the hostess asked if I preferred a window seat table for just me, or would I like to join a table; I asked to join a table. That was the greatest decision I ever made, I sat at a table of 3 different groups of people who were all the sweetest, funniest people ever. (Sidenote: I've never been on a cruise where I experienced nasty or rude people, going on a cruise is really a breath of fresh air where everyone is happy and living life.) Everyone at the table had already placed their orders and were sipping mimosas just laughing and talking and they included me as if we were all family.
Naturally, I was the youngest at the table, and I don't mind, I love hanging out with older people because they are so fun and full of life, wisdom, and love. They all convinced me to try the mimosas and deemed me as their child, lol! I then placed my order for the 3 stack pancakes and two sausages which were very delicious! The pancakes were nice and fluffy, fairly small, but great! The sausages were very fresh and had just enough spice for flavoring but not to make spicy, which worked well with the pancakes. Everything was wonderful including the people, I ended up leaving that breakfast with two new "cruise aunts". They extended an offer to me to hang out with them for the duration of the cruise whether it was for breakfast/dinner or excursions, and they also made sure to speak and check on me every time we saw each other on the cruise; they were so amazing!

Later on, for dinner, my friends and I decided to go to the casual dining hall, instead of the Lido deck. I decided I would try the grilled chicken breast served with a side of fresh vegetables and roasted red potatoes. I absolutely loved the broccoli and red potatoes, they were both very fresh, and the potatoes weren't overwhelmed with salt, however, if you prefer more salt, they do have salt and pepper at the tables. The grilled chicken was okay, it was nice and tender, however, I would have preferred a sauce or gravy with it because it tasted as if it were missing something.
Overall, I would rate the breakfast a 9/10, highly recommend, because it was flavorful, but it was also a smaller portion. However, it was definitely worth the experience, I say try it or any of their other amazing breakfast dishes, and also, go out and make new friends.
Overall, I would rate the dinner a 7/10, highly recommend, because it wasn't necessarily my favorite dish, but I think someone else may still enjoy it. Also, the potatoes were great, and I love fresh broccoli, which fit perfectly into the meal so definitely try it.
