Review summary

The ship was large but that was all  that I saw. Large with average food in the main dining, special foods were jammed up, or never open! I got a meat lasagna; the meat in this pasta dish was left over 1 inch

thick slice of left over roast from the night before; could not even chew it. Mongolian wok was under-manned and a twenty plus m inute wait every time I tried. The breakfast was powdered eggs and greasy

bacon, sausage or dried out breads....lunch was a little better, dinner just the same entrees but only 

in color.  The rooms were nice! The stewart Mr. Bagus did an excellant job.  Entertainmnet was good, the comedy excellant too! I am tired of hearing the cons of buying carneval crap. You over price everything! Next, you promote it as a great bargain, no tax or duty; Baloney; the quality of most is

below what is found in good stores stateside. Your ports, except Cozumel were scary and dangerous;
there was a robbery in Mahaogony bay, and a fight outside the gate, a mob type fight in Belize and Carneval, in their thinking skills takes us to these ports during a Labor Day Holiday and all the shops 

are closed outside the gate.  Venture there at your own risk is what I was told by security.  bad choice of ports; Rotan, Honduras, and Belize too!  YOU OWE it to your customers.......

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main ding area was not up to what I would expect. Same food just displayed different and not that well made at all! The display of the food was good. The foods in the Crescent was what I would find in a average eating establishment. The service was excellant.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

Comedy was outstanding for adults! Jeff does a great job; another asset/ the shows were average to good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room stewart Mr. Bagus was a great asset to the voyage. I gave a tip to him! You should not ask for gratuity; It is tacky and cheapens your image in my eyes. That is not the purpose of the cruise line; OH Wait; Yes it is too! Make as much as you can even if you don't deserve it!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Nothing spectacular, the decor was good and some opulence but nothing too outstanding. Reminded me of Las Vegas; the gold and speckles were nice.
