Review summary

We enjoy cruising with Carnival but will not do an interior room again. The ship is showing signs of her age and definitely needs to go to dry dock. We had fun and can’t wait to take our next cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We were able to board the ship very quickly. The ship was leaving early to avoid Beryl so the expedited the embarkation for everyone.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

My wife and I enjoy trivia so we did that. We also enjoy lounging in the pool early in the morning.

Jackpot Casino

4 out of 5

Enjoyed the fact that there’s a nonsmoking Casino on Deck 4. It would be nice if you didn’t have to walk through smoke on deck 5 Casino to claim your rewards or fully cash out your winnings.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Our wait staff was excellent. They made us feel like family. Dewa, Tonisha, and Komang were incredible. Domingo, our room steward, was incredible. He took care of anything we needed.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Interior cabin under the galley. Noise from the galley every night made it very hard to sleep.

Ship tip

If cigarette smoke irritates you, do not walk on deck 5. The fact that second hand smoke is not healthy for anyone, the fact that they still allow smoking inside is mind boggling.
