Review summary

The fact that everyone in my cabin got sick after eating at the steakhouse really put a damper on the whole week. We went to guest services only to be told to see the medic if needed. I was very disappointed with this cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was organized and timely

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main dining room was 5 star. The buffet was a 3. I'm giving the steakhouse a "0". 6 of the people in my party got sick after there the 1st night. I talked to several others on the ship that also got sick.

The Carnival Deli

1 out of 5

I wouldn't recommend it. Everything is pre-made and you can change very few things on the sandwiches. Do yourself a favor and skip it

Renoir Restaurant

5 out of 5

Excellent food and service. Jesson and his team were outstanding. I cannot say enough positive things about the experience

Lido Marketplace

3 out of 5

It was just ok. The food was edible but there was no variety

Steakhouse

1 out of 5

6 of my family members got sick after eating there the 1st night. Several others have said they got sick too. I have eaten at the steakhouse before but this time it was aweful.

Alchemy Bar

5 out of 5

The bar tender made my sons cruise. He was awesome and even made him drink water

Guy's Burger Joint

5 out of 5

Excellent as always. The go above and beyond

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I only swam in the pool

Photo Gallery

1 out of 5

I'm still arguing with Carnival to get my digital photos. Also there needs to be a reasonably priced package such as $150 for all of the photos taken

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The show Flick was weird and I didn't understand it. The comedians were just ok.

Children's Programs

2 out of 5

My grandson did not like the kids camp. He has enjoyed them on other ships. He said the staff was not nice and it was boring.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Jesson was the best waiter. The cabin steward went out of his way to accommodate us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I wasn't excited about the overall colors but the ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was small but I expected that.

Ship tip

Go for the ports not the ship experience

And if the guests did get sick in the steak house , I am positive the guests would have been given the money back they paid for the meal .

Wow !! Rough review ! We have 63 cruises on carnival . Many on the conquest , and still have 2 back to backs booked , I think only problem ever , was a refrigerator not working . Spoke to our steward and in ten minutes , had a brand new one . Never , ever had a problem with food , if it seemed a little cold we just sent it back and told our waiter to warm it up . If carnival is so bad as told by many , don't cruise !

Yeah, I’m not going to put much stock in this review. It is eerily similar to Kevin23’s except in his version it was 5 people and not 6. Same cabin number so I’m assuming you were traveling together but the stories don’t match.

Are these rides safe? They are just ok. I assembled them myself. What happens if there's an accident? We just move on to the next town. Just ok is NOT ok!
