Review summary

It was great meeting new people. They made the cruise for us! I would have liked the ship to be cleaner and especially the gym. They offered a lot to choose from for the entertainment.

What's the point of a boarding time if they don't recognize it at Carnival.

Entertainment

Performers were okay, the excellent rating came from Kevin hosting trivia nights and the comedy shows.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room steward didn't make much of our towel animals that made such a big deal about. A heart and a flower isn't a animal and they were very sloppy in doing the basic heart and flower.

Our cabin wasn't very clean. I found nasty candy left under our bed from the previous cruiser. The gym was absolutely filthy!! They didn't have towels to clean the machines, the dumbbells had tons of dirt on the racks. Huge dust balls under the racks. This doesn't happen in just a few days or a week. The dumbbells were all disorganized. I questioned the trainer there. He said, he would have it cleaned. At least the machines were cleaned and towels filled to wipe down the machines were cleaned. The rack was exactly the same until our 4th day. The adult only section was disappointing. One hot tub was down and only a towel person one day.
