Review summary

Even though I was getting around on a crutch, I had a great time. It was a reunion cruise of the Hooligans so I had a lot of past cruiser friends with me. Lots of laughs and love this ship. Our next reunion will be on this ship in 2 years. A great fun group.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Waiting area seemed a little small, but embarkation was still easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Guy's Pig and Anchor is my ultimate favorite restaurant, Chibang's food and service were very good. Bonsai had great sushi and Cucina's food and service was awesome, way to much but tasted wonderful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of pools and hot tubs. Love the one on the back of deck 8.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Performers were great and offered a variety of music. Not a lot of country though.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was very friendly. I got hurt the day before the cruise and all staff tried helping me as much as they could. Eben my room steward was very accommodating and helped me a lot. When he saw me hobbling along on my crutch trying to carry something he would come and take it from me and walk me to my room and open the door for me.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Staff was continually cleaning. Kailash and team kept the Bar 820 clean the whole cruise.

I love all the shopping right off the ship.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Carnival does a lot to attempt to make it a smoother disembarkation. However the cruisers make it a madhouse. And if you are in a wheelchair several people do not care and they will cut you off, kick your chair trying to get off before you.
