Review summary

Our first cruise in 3.5 years. We have been doing All Inclusive Resorts during Covid. Overall a great trip. We did notice small changes that continue to show cutbacks in value/service. We weren't advise of our Loyalty Program Benefits and missed the free Alcohol Drink on last Sea Day.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food in the MDR was good to excellent. Breakfast buffets and in MDR were very good. Buffet at lunch needs some reworking. A lot of strange entree choices and I'm not picky. Guy's Burgers and Blue Iguana were very good. Carnival needs to rethink their Deserts. They are the same as they were 5 years ago when we last cruised on a Carnival Ship.
