Review summary

Liked the food choices and entertainment on board, but found we had to go half an hour early to shows to get a seat, and there were always lines for meals.  I particularly liked the choices of Mexican at Blueiguana, Indian at Tandori, Mongolian BBQ, burgers and pizza besides the dining rooms, restaurants and the Lido buffet.  We skipped our dining room option several times because we didn't like the menu choices.  

I think there should be some form of seating available for those who find standing for more than a hour in lines while boarding difficult.  Perhaps they do not provide this so you will purchase "faster to the fun" to avoid this problem.  

Very disappointed that our ship could not dock on Sunday due to fog so we only had a 6 day cruise and missed Belize.  We traveled about 5,000 miles to for this trip.  We understand it was a weather problem and beyond the control of Carnival, but it was still disappointing to only have 2 ports.  Carnival said they would reimburse one day's charges within 3 weeks.  They did credit our on-board account with the prepaid gratuities and Belize excursion right away.  

When we booked we were promised on-board credits but were not told some were refundable and some were not.  We also booked our airfare with Carnival which I would not do again because I paid right away but 6 weeks later the airline website did not show they had received payment, so Carnival used our money all that time.  As a result of payment not received we were unable to upgrade our seating to priority seats, and by the time it finally cleared the priority seats we preferred were not available on two of the 4 flights.
