Review summary

Overall, great to be cruising again. Miss diamond/platinum perks though

Embarkation

4 out of 5

A little off - hubby is platinum and although he checked in before me and my traveling companion, we wound up meeting in the same area within 5 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We had assigned dining the first two nights, dinner was either cold or non existent. The service was some of the most disjointed. My step daughter is still waiting on her bread. Switched to ytd and much better!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Loved the synchronized swimming.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The comedians were funny! Very enjoyable!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The ytd staff was great! Reaffirmed our decision that carnival had not slipped that much.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Once you get used to it, it's pretty easy to navigate

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean cabin. Wished they'd replaced our used blue towels, though

Because two people had mobility issues, it would've been nice to know about the golf carts. That was a mile plus walk

Carnivals hurry up and wait. We are kind of used to it.

Thanks for your review. When traveling with folks with mobility issues, it pays to do a little research online. It takes extra time and effort, but worth it because you'll know what your options are before hand.

Appreciate your feedback. Never heard of synchronized swimming on a cruise. What a treat! Happy you found a dining option that fit your needs. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

Different with covid, not as fun as it use to be before covid

It was a great cruise overall. MDR food was not as good as before and compared to the sunrise which I had just been on 3 weeks before this. Comedy shows we’re funny and I appreciate that the family shows are at 8&9 so we could make them after dinner.

Very relaxing
