Review summary

Overall, quite disappointing. Uncaring and incompetent management, very bland decor on ship, not enough time ashore in ports, MAJOR problems with seating/scheduling in restaurants, very poor level of musicianship from entertainers. Our group of 10-20 repeat cruisers have unanimously decided it is time to look somewhere else besides Carnival for our future cruises.

TERRIBLE service in food service. Food quality hit-or-miss.

Entertainment

Quality of musicians was quite poor, with the one exception of a fantastic female string trio.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
All lower-level service personnel were WONDERFUL. Upper-level management types were arrogant, snotty, and incompetent.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship very clean and new. It just had no "wow" factor at all, the first time I've ever experienced this on a cruise ship. The decor was so generic and bland as to be virtually invisible.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Good size for a lower-tier room.

Ship tip

Look for a different ship, or maybe even cruise line.

We were warned to only go to the overly commercialized area right near the port out of safety concerns.
