Fantastic Experience with teenagers
I took my teenage kids on this cruise. They are 13, 15, 17 and they all had a wonderful time. There was truly something for everyone and we have some memories that will last a lifetime. The food was great, the entertainment was great, the staff was fun and I would definitely recommend this cruise!!

First and last cruise with Carnival
This was my first cruise with Carnival and it was not comparable in any way, shape, or form to the other cruises I've taken on Norwegian and Disney. The food was seriously awful. I am NOT a picky eater but this stuff was really bad. Casseroles with crumbled saltine crackers ontop, sour milk, bad deserts, ice cold hot dog buns, and very minimal selection. Yuck. The ship had rust spots all over it inside and out and the cabin looked abused! the bathroom had mold and grime in the crevices - it was gross. The crew just kept their heads down and did their work, not friendly or fun, just "there". They looked tired and overworked. This was the complete opposite of the Norwegian cruise I took where there was so much variety in foods, tables were cleared and cleaned immediately, and the crew was super upbeat and friendly. If this had been my first cruise I would not go on another one, thankfully I had a great experience with Norwegian and have booked my next vacation with them.

Don't bother. Go on another cruise line
Bring bug spray!!!! For real, I got about 40 mosquito bites and they're not like USA mosquito bites - they are monsters.
