Review summary

Choose a different ship. This was a horrible experience, and makes us never want to go on a cruise again!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Food was mediocre at best! We had to wait over an hour after we sat down to get our breakfast and drinks when the dining room was basically empty. There were only 3 menu items we enjoyed.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The pool was very small for the size of the ship, and kids were allowed to run crazy at the water slides.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Shows were corny and not very exciting. The comedian was not very good either.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were great and very attentive

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The fridge did not work, and the bed was supposed to be a king bed, but was town twins pushed together. They were constantly coming apart. The music channel only worked half the time.

Ship tip

Choose a newer carnival ship. Everyone told us this is not a normal cruise experience. As our first one though, we never want to go on one again.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful port! This was the best part of the trip!

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
Only beach at this location. Water was very rocky and there were not a lot of good swim areas.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Process for disembarking the ship is horrendous. It took 3 hrs to disembark the ship.
