This was our first and last Carnival cruise. Even though the ports were beautiful, the food and shear number of inconsiderate guest on this cruise we will prefer to sail with another company
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation was smooth and fast
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Drinks were good, food not so much. Even dinners in the main dining room were sub par
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
There was a lot to do on the boat, there were times that there was so much going on that you had to pick one thing over the other and other times that there was nothing going on
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The live performances were amazing! This is something that Carnival excels at
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our stewards knew us by name the very first day!! The wait staff was very good as well
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
It took us the full 5 days to finally figure out the tricks to navigate the ship without having to cut through the dining room or walk down the halls of the staterooms
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Even though it was small it was functionalble and we had everything thing we needed.
Ship tip
The muster drill and de-embarkation felt very disorganized. Maybe have staff members direct the guest better
Even though it is very small as far as shopping the beaches and water is breathtaking!! There is a pool located at this port as well for those who prefer not to swim in the ocean. I did find souvenirs were more expensive here versus the DR
It was disorganized getting off the ship. The announcement said to use the mid and forward elevators, so we used the mid. We couldn't even get out of the elevator because there was such a large mass of people. There was a staff member there but she was not directing people where to go, so my wife and I fought the crowd to find the end of the line. 30 minutes later when we made it back to the mid elevators other guest were being welcomed to just squeeze their way into the line.
Wow. I was on Elation and four other Carnival cruises. Never had an issue with ships or crew. You can’t blame Carnival for guest behaviors.
Bye Felicia! 👋🏻
You can’t really blame the cruise line for the group of passengers who happened to book at the same time as you. They really have no control over the demographic. It didn’t help that you booked the worst ship in Carnival’s fleet. On that rust bucket you’re gonna get inexperienced cruisers who would be miserable to be around on land and especially on a ship where they don’t know what the hell they’re doing.
Up to you whether trying a different ship changes your mind about Carnival or whether cruising just isn’t for you.
I want to know what she meant by the sheer number of inconsiderate guest!,,, was everyone rude to them or just one person not say excuse me and ruined the whole cruise for her???!
