Review summary
Favorite part of the cruise was the comedy shows and the catamaran shore excursion in Nassau. Most of the entire staff was not friendly, no energy and had to wait a long time to get our drinks. We paid for the Cheers! Program which saved us money but the service was not good. The massage was also good by Rose but the room I was in was very loud; the spa manager did credit me half of my charge because of this. I would not recommend this cruise unless they put an entire new staff on. This was my 5th cruise and I was disappointed and of course I invited friends this time and they were not impressed. Not sure if I will be going back to Carnival for a future cruise. The food in the dining room was not that tasty either; every time I ordered a steak it was wrong.

Ship tip
Get out and do all the activities and meet people. I would not recommend getting a shuttle from a hotel but to spend the extra money and park at the port.
