Food and Dining

4 out of 5

For the most part we really enjoyed the food around the ship. The deli and pizza was exactly how we remembered it. The new menu in the main dinning room was a little disappointing for us because some of our favorites that we looked forward every cruise are now gone. They brought back the midnight buffet, even though the food wasn’t great, it was nice to have the option. Guys burgers was as good as always, and I really enjoyed Shaqs chicken.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was the biggest room we’ve ever had, the extra space was very nice, but the bathroom seemed much smaller that I remember.

Ship tip

If you’ve cruised other carnival ships, this ship has a different layout so study the deck plans to help you find guys burger, the deli, and the pizza place.

We booked the same excursion as our last time here and enjoyed it just as much. The catamaran sail and snorkel with open bar. The staff is amazing and entertaining. We hit several snorkeling spots, and enjoyed the open bar on the return back to port.
