Review summary

We were so looking forward to this cruise after several years of staying home due to Covid. We especially enjoyed Half Moon Cay, Bahamas. It was beautiful! The food on the island was very good also. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were pleased with Carnival’s health protocols to keep us all safe. We look forward to cruising with Carnival soon.

Embarkation

Very fast and organized embarkation. . . Verifly made it so easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The Scarlet was our dining room table 467. The head waiter (Razvan) was excellent, however, he was taking care of a whole section by himself. We observed him rushing around taking orders, serving people, picking up plates, serving drinks and checking on all of his section. We admired that he looked exhausted with all the duties he was in charge of and yet he was very courteous to all of us. We complained about being the last to be served for the first three days of our cruise and our waiter did remedy the situation from then on. We felt that Carnival needs to better by their staff. The dining staff works so hard for all the the passengers and they should be provided with adequate assistance. We ate at the Sushi Bar and the food and staff were excellent.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The Cats Trio was our favorite. We also enjoyed the Ocean Plaza band. There were technical difficulties with the theater and so we were disappointed that the Dream cast didn’t perform as we had expected.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our head waiter, Razvan was excellent!! Even though he was short staffed he made sure we were properly served. Asrilia did provide some assistance on the first day, however, she was pulled away to other tables. Rodrigo was our steward and he kept our room very clean.
