Review summary

More activities needed to engage all age groups and not just those in their 50s, 60s. The club needs updated and diverse music to entertain the different cultures that cruise with them. More food choices needed and the juices (Apple, orange) tasted really funny...not too sure they are real. Soda machines should be located in the buffet dinning room or atleast have someone walking around with them instead of only alcoholic drinks. My party and I had to keep getting up from the dinning table to walk out to the pool area in order to get soda.

Excursions were all booked up unfortunately. We ended up enjoying the beach, alot of "green gunk though (I forget what they are called). Couldn't eat the food at the bbq section, had a lot of flies landing on the foods and fruits. They might consider having a closed quarters for their food.

Poor. More information should be given ahead of time (during embarkment maybe) as to what time to leave the ship, not chasing people off the last minute.

The waiters will bring you soda. if you're on Bubbles plan or paying for individual sodas they take your card and bring soda back. never had any problem and always requested they bring the can and ice.

First review I remember where Carnival activities are catered to 50 and 60 year olds. Who knew? I always assumed MUCH younger.
