Cruising is back. It's the same, masked, but there's still bingo, trivia, dance lessons. Right now, a whole lot less folks onboard too.
Embarkation

Showed up at our scheduled time, checked in and boarded immediately, due to having a suite booked.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Pasta Bella for lunch was GREAT. Guy's Burger was exactly as remembered. Pig and Anchor was good, too, I really like the chicken with a little potato salad. Pizza Pirate for breakfast was perfect. The buffet had the expected food items, tasty and varied. Specialty restaurants - dinner at the steak house was just "okay". Nothing truly outstanding, the food was good, but no worth the extra cost. Bonsai sushi was EXCELLENT, fresh, good menu choices, and delicious. FINALLY tried the Mongolian Wok, it was good stuff, now I see why folks recommend it!
Pizzeria del Capitano
5 out of 5
Can't get pizza any fresher. Try the #5, it's great for breakfast
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
The Serenity Deck was nice, with the hot tubs. Didn't use the pools or the gym
Cloud 9 Spa
4 out of 5
Fantastic massage. Listen for specials! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the hard sell for Elemis products
Entertainment
5 out of 5
LOVED the silent disco, that was FUN. 2 dueling DJ's with headsets playing tunes in the club. The comedians were funny, there was a juggling comedy show and a comedy magician. And an old school bullwhip and rope trick artist.
Children's Programs
no kids with me
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Carnival is doing an outstanding job keeping the rooms clean under the Covid restrictions. Our room steward, Vita, and her staff were ALWAYS masked. Only in our room once daily, to reduce contact. The bartenders and wait staff were happy to see us back.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Always cleaning. I like the layout of this class of ship very much. SO many hot tubs
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Suite staterooms are very nice. The large bathroom with the jet tub and two sinks is nice. The balcony had 2 chairs, a small table and a lounger. Plenty of room for two or more.
Ship tip
Try the pasta bar for lunch, it's open daily, upstairs from the gathering.
