Review summary

Definitely great for bargain seekers who aren’t as concerned about the quality of food and/or service. Disappointed with this Carnival cruise compared to the last one we took; but, we think post-COVID recovery is still in process.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Quick despite long lines. Unsure why we had assigned times when people were allowed to embark at whatever time they arrived.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Steakhouse was excellent. Other common areas were okay, but service in dining room definitely lacking compared with previous cruises.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Serenity area was nice except for the section that was immediately next to the kid’s pool area. Who thought that was a good idea?
