| - 2nd time: I've always thought of Carnival World Buffet as the big brother of the buffets at Rio, upstaged by the Seafood Buffet.
Carnival World Buffet tries to be what it sounds like, a buffet with foods from all over the world. The selection is huge, and the spans from one end of the restaurant to the other.
As with any buffet, there's a carving station. Prime rib isn't bad but the other proteins were... meh. Seafood selection is the typical as well. Crab legs, cocktail shrimp, fried seafood etc. I do think I'm a little spoiled by the buffets at the higher end hotels though, since the crab legs were already but in half for you :P But of course, the selection for seafood can't be compared to the other buffet at Rio.
Mexican food is... alright. Looked like what my high school would serve. The churro was a surprise though. I was lucky enough to get some right when it came out so it was crispy and you really can't beat a fresh churro.
For some reason, I actually sorta liked the Asian food section... maybe cause that whole weekend I was eating Western food. So it was nice to have a little change.
The best part about the desserts is definitely the rotating gelato display. You go up, tell the server what you want, and he'll press a button so the machine will spin towards the right flavor. Pretty cool. I think I stood there for like 5 minutes watching him do that. Probably thought I was a weirdo haha.
Carnival is perfect if you want a lot of choices and variety. The selection is truly the best part about this buffet and I definitely wouldn't mind coming back. The price is reasonable and the service here is great. But if you are used to buffets at the Wynn or Bellagio, then this place might seem a little too average!
