This was a great first cruise on Carnival. Although it was short, we got a good feel for the Carnival product. We had a great time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The included food was just okay. The steakhouse and sushi restaurants were excellent. The bars were great as well, especially the Alchemy Bar. We ended the night there every night.

The staff was always so friendly and eager to be of service. Very welcoming.

Ship Quality

Although she’s an older ship, she was clean and well-maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was small but it had everything we needed. The cabin steward kept it neat and tidy.
