Review summary
This was a fantastic ship and the staff was great, the food was great, and we all had a wonderful time with lots of good memories. It is not for everyone and you will see negative reviews (as we had a bad experience on Royal Caribbean) but for us it was wonderful and I am getting ready to book my next cruise - with Carnival of course.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Tiffany's Lido Restaurant
We ate here the whole cruise and while there were things on the buffet I did not care for it was always something somewhere in this restaurant that I would eat and I am a very picky eater. Worse them my 4 yo granddaughter. The have 24/7 ice cream and pizza - how could you go wrong with that?!?!
Onboard Activities
Water Works
My 4 yo granddaughter had a blast here. Fun for all ages.
Entertainment
Children's Programs
Camp Carnival
We traveled with our 4yo granddaughter and she loved the camp carnival. She would even ask to go in there to play and the staff was excellent. Kind, friendly and helpful! They do have a strict sign in/sign out policy so you can be sure your child is not going anywhere with anyone but you! Lots of games, movies, face painting and loads of toys for them to play with along with a great staff made it easy to leave her there for some adult relaxation time and to catch some shows she would not have been interested in seeing.
