Review summary

Really disappointed. For what we paid we should have had all the bells and whistles, fun, staff interaction, amazing food, like our friends did on all their carnival Cruise. I don't think I can trust anyone else that says a cruise ship is amazing due to our ship.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

I felt we should have been greeted with smiles and drinks. No organization at all.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Was not impressed. Actually we were disappointed. This was our first cruise. Our 16yr anniversary, the food was cheap filet mignon, buffet was disgusting, and we ate pizza almost every meal because of the food.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Bingo was all the time. The main pool was small and didn't hold many people. The other 2 were size of hot tub. The casino was ok. The comedy show was ok. They only did pool deck activity during day.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Dj by ool was good. But again only in morning and mid day. Not evening or night fun.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

They don't really speak to you. And they act like you bother them when trying to bring conversation. Or they didn't understand what you were saying. They all Spike German to each other.
