Review summary
Comedy was great. Magic show, crafts, build a bear, pool, arcade were all very underwhelming. only 1 small pool for 3k people is awful. only 1 set of cornhole boards caused lines to wait to play for over an hour at a time. The food was no where near as good as your other ships. Getting rid of 24 hour FREE room service was not a good call. The internet connection is lowsy for the price. The best thing about our cruise was the islands and the comedy show.Embarkation

Ship tip
Dont do it. There was 1 single pool for almost 3k people and it was so packed that we couldn't even get in. The activities were all mediocre except the Comedy. The crafts activity was severly misrepresented and so was the build a bear. I will never go on this ship again. It's definitely the lower standard ship of all of Carnival.
Ports of call
Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)
