Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Good food, great variety also. The only thing missing from the Lido Marketplace is the large dessert station. This has a small selection of desserts compared to other ships where you have several cakes that Carnival staff serve slices of.

Cucina del Capitano

5 out of 5

5 out of 5

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Many activities available on the ship for all ages.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
DJ Cue is by far the best DJ that we have cruised with so far. Violin quartet is amazing, great song selection and variety. Playlist performances have been updated and each show is excellent. One show is comparable to a Cirque de Soleil performance.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cabin steward Ida was excellent

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean as expected especially since the ship has only sailed three times previously

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Midship cabin the only issue was a constant mechanical sound that almost sounded like grinding gears. Many other guests heard the same sound to include guests on deck 5. Some described the sound as chairs being moved across a bare floor. Notified Guest Services never was told what the sound was. Woke my wife up several times while sleeping. Room size is good and more closet space and lighting was provided.

Ship tip

Please arrive early for shows on Center Stage also choose a seat where you can watch the entire show May seats are instructed views.

That sound might have been the stabilizers based on your room location.
