Review summary

Typical Carnival cruise. Service not nearly as fast as it used to be in all areas really, but I've heard this is a problem since covid. Great staff just really slow. Also note***if you've been on this ship before it's changed and is almost identical to Vista. Pretty much same for lines and service too unfortunately.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

As good as can be expected. A little waiting and lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We have never loved carnival food tbh. It was on par with what we expected. Deli wasn't as good as on smaller boats. Steak house was pretty good but not phenomenal. Well priced.

Pizzeria

2 out of 5

Long lines, couldn't even get an order in for what i wanted, took a Margherita pizza and it just was not good. Lots looked under or over cooked as well.

RedFrog Rum Bar

Always a favorite! Great staff, great drinks, right in the middle of fun!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We enjoy hanging out on deck mostly

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Stage shows and comedy wasn't as great as I've seen in the past. One comedian outstanding, one boring. Motown show pretty good but flick not so much

Cabin / Stateroom

Great! Enjoyed a more spacious bathroom.

Ship tip

All times given, whether it's an activity or whatever, but especially if it's shore or home debarkation.... be there BEFORE the time given. The time is the time it will start or leave without you, and everybody else is already there lol.

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

Nice port area. Always feels a little disorganized for excursions. ATV and beach break was good.

Sounds about right, you get what you pay for, but it is still a good line to sail on the cheap.
