Review summary

Wonderful destinations and excursions but somewhat disappointed in carnival even though I have sailed on them in the past. There were some areas of the ship in need of repairs/cosmetics and the stage performers, other than the comedians, were terrible this time

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Excellent! We got on very quickly fortunately

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Unfortunately the dining was not as good as on other cruise ships or even as on Carnival in the past. It seemed to me that the quality over all has gone down quite a bit, especially in the actual dining rooms but also on the buffets.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The Comedians were awesome but the show performers were terrible compared to my past experiences. The performers were over dramatic and no better than Good karaoke singers for the most part. I had told my fiance who was on his first cruise that he was really going to love the show productions and he and I were both incredibly disappointed

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

Like most people I talk to you I find Nassau to be just awful in terms of how heavily solicited tourists are. That's why I knew to book an Excursion to the beach and we really loved Balmoral Island and the snorkeling there

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5

Absolutely beautiful and wonderful overall!

Great Beach and Margaritaville but the golf cart we rented broke down within one hour and we were not refunded our money
