Review summary

The cruise was great. Only problem was the seas and that was not the captains fault. He can not control the wind. I do believe he tried to steer us out of the winds and rough seas. But it was everywhere. I was not at all happy with internet service on the ship. I paid $68 dollars for it and could not get ON or stay ON. Not worth the money. Aked Carnival to contaqct me They have not done so. Plan on an 5oth anniversty cruise next with Carnival. But, on one of theirs bigger ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Parking move along really good . Lines were a little slow. But, that is to be expected when you have that many people.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I do not understand how anybody can complain about the food on the ship. There is always something you can find to eat. Service was great at dinner time. Some people I guess would complain if they were fed with a gold spoon.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I have been on five other cruises. This time I went around to the different night places. All were great. The shows were very good too.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The DJ's and piano bar was great. The shows were very good. I felt some of the people really have a chance on may bradway or the music industry.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

You could not ask better room service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was very clean. The only problem was speed of the elelavators. They seemed slow.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was kind of small for three people.

Please read comments concerning the internet from other cruisers. Too many think it will be exactly like sitting at home or work. When aboard, look for the nearest cell tower. It is a long ways above you in a satellite. Listening to everyone else and their comments, I have yet to spend a penny on service at sea. I just cruise, and enjoy the cruise experience itself.
