Review summary

BLOWN away that there are so many negative reviews. Unless you are a super uptight pessimistic person you’ll love this cruise. This was my fourth cruise and my boyfriend’s first. We both absolutely loved it. Cleanliness ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rooms were kept very clean & done so in a timely manor. Our housekeeper always wished us good morning/good night & remembered our names. No complaints. Dining Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our head waiter was Ronaldo and he was a peach. So silly and always making us laugh but also a very tentative waiter and willing to bend over backwards for us. There was also a female waitress on his team and she was a sweet pea as well. Nothing but good things to say - zero complaints. Food Allergies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have celiac disease and the staff was VERY accommodating to gluten free needs. Eleana from Bulgaria (hostess) walked me around and made sure I got gluten free food free of cross contamination. Gluten free bread & desserts (soft serve and melting cake included) Food- Dinner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing food. There was one meal that my boyfriend and I weren’t fans of and the wait staff was eager to bring us a new meal. Make sure to get the ribs, anything seafood, & hot melting cake. Food- Breakfast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We chose to eat in the Monet restaurant for breakfast every morning. The food was amazing. The waitstaff you could tell was exhausted. I could see how people would take the opportunity to complain about eating here because it does take a while to get your food. With that being said.. you are making the decision to eat there. If ya don’t like it.. go to the buffet. The way we looked at it was, we’re on vacation. Why be rushed? Food- Guy’s Burgers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ No gluten free options here. Boyfriend ate this almost every day though! He loved it! He got the Ringer with fries. There’s a bar to add all of your fixings. Food- Blue Iguana ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very good chicken tacos with a bar similar to Guy’s. Gluten free corn tortillas. Recommend adding rice to your tacos! Only complaint - one of the days I found a bone in my chicken meat. But hey, it happens. Entertainment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have seen reviews that say there wasn’t much to do. & no, there may not have been some activity that we wanted to take part in every single moment of the day. But, sometimes ya gotta make your own fun. We loved sitting out on the lido deck in the sun watching & occasionally joining in on the competitions.

Thanks for sharing. Great information, we are going on our 5th cruise with Carnival. We have had a fantastic time on each one. We do like the specialty dining options and usually eat there several times throughout our cruise.

When I was on the Vista for 2 nights I had to wait on my meal more than 45 minutes. IT NEVER OCCURED TO ME to complain considering all the other "Treats" available. Also, once the wait staff realized the error they brought out more found then I could handle including items not on the menu. Everything from Shrimp 🦐 to Lobster .

Some just like to complain... In on a cruise.. I expect a few hiccups to happen.. Oh well.. That's when I get another drink!

Wonderful review. I bet someone with a negative attitude could rate the same exact cruise you were on as a horrible trip.

Thanks for the great review. We are going in March on the Conquest. Our first time trying Carnival. Can you tell me if the main dining room was opened for breakfast and lunch on Port days?

I agree 100%. I have been on many cruises with Carnival and my very worse cruise was freaking awesome!

It's interesting how you will read about how some will have a bad experience on day one and then they just can't get over it the whole cruise.

I agree on every ship I’ve been on. I always wonder if the people with the horrible reviews are even on the same ship with me.
