Review summary

The shore excursions are priced out of control. We used taxis and it was cheap and great.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Mongolian Wok, pasta restaurant, and Guys burgers were great.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Slides and hot tubs were good. Some hot tubs were not hot at all. We found a good one.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
DJ was good but the stage shows sucked. You needed to bring in more outside entertainment. Such as jugglers and magic. The performers were just not that good for every night performances. The acoustic band was great and we enjoyed the violin trio.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
We loved the service from Ramil and Eko in the Crimson. Called us by name every day and fast service. Didnt see much of room steward Aris. Not that great of service though.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Size is ridiculously small. The bathroom was the nicest part. The hairdryer in the drawer was very inconvenient. I only had half of a bedskirt til midweek and they changed it.

Ship tip

Take your own hairdryer. It was the prettiest atrium I have had on a ship. Lots of deadends on the floors.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

The cabins won't get much bigger without it being a suite. Carnival has the largest cabins in the cruise industry
