Review summary

Typical Carnival cruise, you get what you pay for.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Usual VIFP experience, we arrived on time and there were no lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Main dining food was terrible. The buffet was better. I suggest the Your Time Dining and book the specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Amateur hour.

Serenity Adult-Only Retreat

1 out of 5

Crowded with drunk rude 20 somethings.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

The featured show should have been in the large theater. There were too few seats and you couldn't see the show where it was showing.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Dining room staff could not keep orders straight. They didn.t know who order what. Service was slow and some items were never served and I was served items I did not order.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

I would expect a cleaner ship being less than a year old.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Clean but small.

Ship tip

Watch out for running kids and drunks.

We visited the port on our own. Nothing to do near the port, you need to take a excursion.
