Review summary

Overall was a great cruise. No WiFi and no good adult only areas are really my only complaint. Was a good getaway trip!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The line to board the ship was incredibly long, even thought we had 30 minutes boarding times.. I think they should have started boarding way earlier :/

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffets were great! Needed a few more employees at some of the other stations like the burrito and Mongolian Wok places.. lines were always pretty long

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Adult bar closed at 6 and adult only hot tubs closed at 8! I was surprised! But all the other hot tubs closed at midnight and were always infested with small children.. couldn’t really enjoy them. Needed a better adult only area. Would have liked to have seen more pool side fun like Limbo or ring toss. Putt putt golf golf was fun!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great!! Lots of good music! The violinist were amazing. Would have like to have seen some magic shows though!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were amazing- very nice and attentive. No complaints there.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was very clean. Only complaint I have was very hard to find any of the bathrooms on board- they were in different places on every floor.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great. Mini fridge didn’t work though :/ we called to have it fix and they couldn’t fix it

Ship tip

The only free WiFi is the intranet to use the app. You have to pay extra to get anything else, and the service is still even very limited :(

Ports of call

Getting off the boat was way better than getting on. You ate breakfast while waiting your turn

I don't remember them having early closing times for the serenity adult hot tubs before...maybe this is a COVID policy?

Carnival has a adults only area that is no charge

Did you not find the Serenity Area to be adults only?
