Most relaxing cruise ever but disappointed in adult on-board activites during at sea days and comments on the ports noted above.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Best ever!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
ONCE WE ASKED TO BE REASSIGNED TO A WAITER WHO HAD A PERSONALITY AND A CAN-DO ATTITUDE, LSERVICE WAS GREAT

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Spa--very pricey and somewhat of a scam because every treatment then wanted to sell you another $200-300 in products

Entertainment

Didn't go to any of the shows

Children's Programs

Ship tip

Don't expect a lot of adult on board activites during the at sea days (we had hoped for wine or tequilla tasting) but definitely do the Guy's burgers (best ever!!) and the adult only Serenity area for peace and quiet while sunning.

Thumbs up

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy.

The shows were FANTASTIC!! The cruise director, Chris Williams was AWESOME!! We never had a dull moment!! I guess it really depends on personal preference!!

You should've tried the shows. They're very good adult onboard activities.

Agree it's overpriced. They are a contracted business to run the spa and not Carnival employees. We've used the spa never the less, but tell them straight out we're not interested in a sales pitch afterwards. If they pursue it, no additional tip is added. Problem solved everytime.

Never do spa treatments on the ship. Way overpriced, and a big time marketing ploy. JMO
