Review summary

This was our second cruise with Carnival. If you are a partier, this cruise is for you. For older people and not a partier, you have to really look for your entertainment.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was pretty easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The buffet was the Mongolian Wok. Didn't really care for that. But the taco bar and Guys Burgers were great. The main dining rooms were great. Discovered breakfast in the dining room which we prefered over the buffet.

Onboard Activities

The pool was good but small.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The 80's review was good. The Cats Trio violin group was great. Needs more diversity for age groups.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I Ketut was a great room steward. He was very attentive to our needs. Jeovanie, our waiter, was great. Was amazed how they remembered our names when they saw us at different parts of the ship.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very well maintained and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

Very nice. Enjoyed being able to sit on the balcony

Ship tip

Pay attention to the App Hub on the phone. Don't expect a lot of announcements over the intercom. Get used to ship and local time.

Excursions were unorganized. Lack of communication on where to catch the excursion when you are off the ship. The excursion, once we got on it, was great.
