Going on a carnival cruise for vacation in the summer gives you so many possibilities on what to do with your beautiful day. There are activities on the deck all day long like dancing and games and ice sculpting. You can listen to live bands while in the swimming pool or go on the tall waterslides. Or you can stay in where it’s cooler and gamble and drink (for those of age). But probably the best part about being on a cruise is the food.
You can basically eat all day and all night. There are buffets for breakfast and lunch that offers everything from fruit and pancakes to cake and tacos and burgers. Dinner is the special meal of the day to get all dressed up. Every night there are multiple entrees that are to die for. Steak, fish, lobster and chicken were my favorites and I ate more than one every night. The main course accompanied by fresh bread and salad, soup or fruit. Not to mention the seemingly unending array of desserts compiled of cakes, cheesecakes, pies, ice cream and those real fancy desserts.
Not only is the food absolutely mind blowing, but the atmosphere and servers and entertainer make every second fun and extremely enjoyable. There is even a conga line on the last night that consists of all the servers and anyone else who wishes to join in. And on the other nights there are consistent dancing opportunities.
Now for the night owls that don’t sleep until 4 in the morning, there is an all night buffet along with multiple random food stations with munchies.
I have to say that the week I was on the cruise was the best week of eating food in my life. I definitely need to go on another one just for the food.

There’s nothing quite like a good steak when it’s all tender and juicy with that special sauce that it marinates in while it gets grilled to just the way you like it. The longhorn steakhouse can deliver such a steak along with much more. Because not only is the longhorn steakhouse a restaurant with delicious food, but it is also a collage of western cowboy rancher accessories… and of course, a number of longhorns. The big wrap-around bar area also contributes to the western ranch vibe of the restaurant.
So, being swayed by the feel of the longhorn, I decided to order a western bacon covered steak. While waiting for my steak to be ready I munched on the freshly baked house bread that was soft and warm, just like you like it. Unfortunately, whenever I finished the drink I had, I had to wait forever to get another one because it was so busy and crowded. Being that the owner decided to stuff about ten more tables into the building than actually fit and it being so crowded, the servers were weaving in and out of tables and people as if they were Lebron James weaving through the defense to the basket. Even though the service could have been swifter, that can’t take away from how mouth watering my steak was. It even made up for the hour wait to be seated.
The longhorn steakhouse can insure two things for you and whomever you dine with, spectacular food and an entertaining night.

It was a Sunday afternoon and I was craving some Mexican food. The only problem was that I always go to Don Pablo’s and Taco Bell doesn’t really count, so I was searching for a different place. I asked my mom if she knew any other Mexican places and she said “well what about On The Boarder over by the mall?” and I immediately knew I was going to have some good food.

Walking through the doors of the restaurant, you get greeted with the choice of sitting on one of the two split sides. A smaller bar area with tall tables and a bunch of TV’s with whatever sport is on, or the larger, more eloquent dining room with, of course, with Mexican decorations and architecture.

After my friend and I got our drinks and standard chips and salsa, I noticed the Blanco dip and just had to get it. Boy o boy was I glad I got it because it was absolutely delicious! Being as it was more than a little bit busy and they were apparently one server short for the day, the service was slower than a few of the people there wanted and one older couple up and left before they even got their drinks. We had no problem with it however because the chips and dip made up for the slowness. Our tacos, enchiladas and empanadas that we order were also very tasty and scrumptious. I was very pleased with my time dining at On The Boarder and I will definitely be eating there again.
