I like how carnival has made some attempts to change the food. Generally was warm enough and just allow a little extra time when dining in the MDR. Seaside brunch took two hours for a table of four from start to finish

Service and Staff

The staff always works very hard. Don’t think I encountered any negative experiences with staff.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

I understand this ship is old, but it definitely needs a lot of TLC. I found that there was a foul odour on a few different floors, and it seem to persist throughout the trip.

We had the excursion planned at this port. Catamaran sale in lobster dinner and visited to beaches. Excursion was very good. But I found this port to be quite dirty. A lot of litter, bottles, and beer cans in the water at the port.

We went to grand Anse beach which was beautiful. And on the far left side against the rocks, was a nice reef in about 10 feet of water good for snorkeling.
