Review summary

I don't know if it's Carnival, or the port, but the embarkation process was the best I have ever experienced. They scan your boarding pass and passport, you go through security, then right onto the ship. Debarkation was also very orderly. Entertainment was great. Ship is a bit worn and mediocre, as was food. Staff were mainly very friendly and accommodating, though the maitre d wasn't very helpful.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Service in the dining room was usually very slow. It took two hours to get out, so we often had to skip desert. We had a large family and tried three times to get the maitre d to seat us together. Despite promises to send us an answer, we never heard back, even though there were many open tables.

Cabin / Stateroom

Aft balcony was roomy, but oil kept dripping onto the balcony, and us. Their solution was to downgrade us, with no refund, to a standard balcony.
