Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Steak House hard to beat with excellent service. Chefs Table memorable experience and well worth extra $$.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not many available. Would like to see more sports competitions and seaside creative. Pretty much all they had was trivia, trivia and more trivia.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedians hilarious except Jill Weiner worse ever. However Comedian Alex Elkin the funniest ever. DJ’s most rap not applicable to age on board. The stage shows very good but could leave their Viva single entertainers. Wonderful Violin Duo playing in Lobby and some excellent singers scattered in different areas of the ship. Punchliner Comedy always a winner. Had the best comedian ever, Alex Elkin and the worse Jill Weiner.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward Idnoman from Romania absolutely wonderful. Waiters and room steward such hard workers. Guest services Nilima needed to learn how to smile and deal with enquires.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Just out of dry dock, nice fresh upholstery, carpet, spa. A few ship ornaments not yet dusted off.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable, clean with a glorious welcoming bed (so comfy).

Ship tip

CARNIVAL Ap doesn’t always work and you will be waiting over an hour for Seaside Brunch and My Time Dining if you could check in for it.

Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

5 out of 5

King's Wharf, Bermuda

3 out of 5
Carnival must have oversold excursion and relied on a taxi to do tour. Taxi tour guide not from Bermuda, not very knowledgeable and got facts about Bermuda incorrect.

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

Spent night on the way out.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Poorest ever. Just into debarkation, they halted it. Then realizing they needed to get us off to board next cruise, they released everyone and the hall was jambed with 3/4 of the ship. Took us 1 1/2 hrs to get out.
