Review summary

I think that Carnival should fix the issues on this ship. If they can fix the issues on the ship , it could be a great ship. That being said I think it might be time to try another cruise line.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The fastest and easiest embarkation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I thought the dining room food was a little substandard . i thought the food in the steak restaurant was average at best,it was a little disappointing.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The boat has an adults only section. the problem is there is no pool in that section so if you wanted to get in the pool it was over crowded with kids who were out of control. I tried all most all of the hot tubs. Not one was hot and none had bubbles. Not sure if this is some sort of safety reason. Very disappointing.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The country show was substandard at best. If your not into country you should try to sing it.

Children's Programs

no kids on the trip

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
All staff seamed that they cared about our vacation being a good one.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Pour design. No pool in the adults only area. Didn't find out about the elevator to take you to the adult only section till I stumbled upon in the spa area. Was not marked. My wife just had surgery on her knee and it made it very difficult to get to this deck.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very nice. We enjoyed the room. It was nice to have two bathroom. The tub was a great help for my wife to soak in.

Ship tip

Be extremely careful on the Lido market floor as it is extremely slippery. Complained to staff and nothing was done to resolve this issue.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

2 out of 5
Ok port. Just very dirty,trash all over the street. Guide blamed it on the storms a year ago. Nope just lazy. It would only take a day or two to clean it up but I guess its easier to keep throwing trash on the ground then in a trash bag or can.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

2 out of 5
Visited this port 20 years ago. Very disappointing. Was a beautiful island not anymore. Worse than the Dominican Republic.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Rain forest was great.

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
Not much to see here.

Disembarkation

If any place is still dumpy looking and needs cleaning especially around the pier is San Juan ,

Wow!! Well amber cove is a beautiful area , don't know where you were ? Immaculate to say the least . St Thomas was hit hard from the hurricane , but millions was spent to clean it up and now it.s beautiful .

Seems like nothing can make you happy. Everything on a vacation is not bad. Reviews seems a bit exaggerated

My last cruise, I tried royal Caribbean, after being on 10 carnival ships. Hated royal. Carnival from now on.
