Review summary

I enjoyed the cruise as a whole. This was my first cruise experience and I believe that the initial boarding process was confusing as was the last day getting off the ship. The biggest issue I had was with drinks. I purchased a Endless Bubbles card and found out that we were limited on the number of soft drinks we could purchase not to mention that if you wanted a soft drink after 11:00 pm the bars were closed.

The crew was great, the ship was clean, and the food was great. I would recommend to others.

The cabin was better than I expected but the TV selection is terrible. It rained all day the 1st day and there should be more TV networks to choose from. Maybe eliminate some of the Carnival channels.

Ship tip

Great cruise but be prepared to pay a lot for soft drinks or if you by the Soda Pass, you do not get as many as you want.

Bottomless bubbles not really convenient at buffet will probably not buy it again on a Carnival cruise.

We get bottomless bubbles every time and you can get as many as you want. Just one at a time, as the last person said. They are also correct in saying there is always a bar open to get a soda

I believe the limitation is that you can't get multiple drinks at once. Because people like to cheat the system and share. Not saying that's what you were doing. That's just the reason behind it. I also think there are bars open all night just probably not on the Lido deck.
