Review summary

some things cant be helped- but Carnival was very interested in getting all the money they could from us. We never complained about that. But when they made no effort to compensate for lost visit to Progresso they killed any understanding from us.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

embarkation was fine

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room staff were great- Welly and his team were the best. lost one star because rest of food was average at best. Chefs table was fantastic. But considering the cost of the dinner on top of cruise that is expected. Steak house was good , but once again a hefty up charge.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

weather did not permit use of pools. hot tubs filled with unruly kids.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Comedy club was horrible. Jason the first comedian was interested "as a new york white jew" in dating a black woman. no laughs in audience. Even the black husbands were not impressed. the singing group in Ivanhoe was mediocre at best. White male lea singer should not be the lead. Song selection was poor.
