Review summary

The cruise director and fun squad were the worst we have ever had in our 15 cruises we have been on with carnival. Will not go on another cruise that he is the cruise director on.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

It was nice and smooth considering we had some that were not vaccinated and had to be tested on site.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The dinning room and food was the only thing good on the ship.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The youngsters love the slides but the staff at the slides were not very friendly. Acted as if they did not want to be there.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

All shows were cancelled and even the build a bear was cancelled without a explanation as to why

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The Stewart and dinning staff were great.

Sorry to hear you did not enjoy your cruise. We was on the same cruise in December and had a great time but we had no small kids. Take care

Current Covid cruising just cannot be compared to past cruising. I've been cruising for over 40 years. Every year things on cruises are different and will never be the same. I still miss the chocolate candy on my pillow every night!

I think the issue was quarantine of employees. John Heald mentioned this as it impacted some of the employees. As for bubble tours and not having a good time. I think traveling right now with unvaccinated people is a challenge and certainly not as enjoyable. Might be better not to cruise with little ones that can’t get the vaccine right now.
