Review summary
My first time cruising and there were things I loved about it, but there were things that made me go "hmmmm". Overall, it was super relaxing but the food was not as good as I expected and not available at all hours. I had to pay for room service one night, due to missing dinner before ship dining areas closed. I also didn't care for most of the entertainment...too one-sided. I did enjoy the last night - lip sync battle; 80s trivia, etc. It was the most fun entertainment of the entire 5 days. The most surprising thing was the $67 dollars added to my final bill for guest services gratuity...wth. This is something that should not be a surprise to people when they're trying to check out. I was very disappointed in this and not sure of taking another carnival cruise.Embarkation

Ship tip
Make sure you have money on the card for the unknown cruise services gratuity that will be added to your final bill. Ours was $67 a piece.
