Review summary

We debarked this morning. There were 10 of us, 8 adults and 2 kids. All in all it was a very good trip. This is a smaller older ship so it is lacking some of the bells and whistles. It was kept very clean and the staff, especially Yudha, our cabin steward was great. The theater is small so make sure to get there early for shows. The shows were good but not outstanding. We saw Divas and one other one but the title escapes me. Camp Ocean was great for our two granddaughters. They both asked to go and seemed to have a good time while there. The food was good and plentiful. Half Moon Cay was as beautiful as ever. Due to the size of our party and having a 3 and 5 year old with us, we opted to get a villa. Pricey but worth it. Embarkation and debarkation was a breeze. We are Platinum but we had others with us who weren’t and they had no issues either. My only complaint and the reason for the 4 star rating was the dining room. Our waitstaff, especially the headwater, did his best with a very poor situation. The 3 of them had at least 3 tables of 10 - 12 people and it was just too much. That is more of a complaint against Carnival management and not them. We would wait upwards of 30-40 minutes between courses. We finally got to where we would get the girls food first and let them eat while we had our appetizers. We then had time to take them to the other end of the ship, check them into Camp Ocean and get back before the main course made it to the table! They did get better as the week progressed but it was never up to what we have experienced on other ships. I will continue to sail with Carnival. Any day on a ship is still better than one at work!
