Review summary

The ship was small. The crew was great. The dining stall was entertaining but some of their jokes were not appropriate for younger ears. Interior rooms very cramped with three to a room. Overall enjoyed the cruise!

Ship tip

It is a booze cruise if that is what you like. Not much to do activity wise. Most fun was when the ship stabilizers were off and it rocked heavily! However many people were sick then.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

This particular carnival ship does not have stabilizers so yes she does move a lot I have been on her several times and the more people in a room the smaller it will seem overall sounds like you had a good cruise thanks for the review

Since this review is 8 yrs old, I imagine a lot has changed as far as what is offered such as activities, food venues etc.

It's nice you had a good time on this ship while I didn't have a good time when I was on it

Lots of other options available among different carnival ships depending on the class of ship you’re sailing. The Elation, a fantasy class ship and is among the smallest and oldest remaining in the fleet. They do typically have fewer activities and can be “bumpy” in rougher seas.. when planning your next trip, post in this app to ask others their opinions about specific ships. Hope you sail again and enjoy your next cruise more!
