Review summary

Our first time cruising with Carnival, we have previously cruised with Royal Caribbean. We enjoyed the cruise, but we prefer Royal over Carnival. Guy’s Burgers and the comedians were top notch.

Scarlet Dining Room

4 out of 5

Some nights they had great food, some nights we left a lot behind. We never left hungry.

Disgusting

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I feel this ship is lacking in this category. A rock climbing wall or a rope obstacle course would definitely help.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Aft Atrium

Usually had good music.

Punchliner Comedy Club

5 out of 5

All 4 comedians were great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was friendly, our room steward was great.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The cleanliness was great, they were always cleaning. The ship’s layout was frustrating for me. Getting from point A to point B would get confusing due to not having a straight path through the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It looked like previous tenants got pretty rowdy in the room. A few cosmetic things were broken such as the plastic light covers around the mirror. Other than that, everything was great.
