Review summary

Our favorite part of the cruise was visiting the beautiful islands that we have never been to before and the excursions. On two of the excursions we had awesome guides!

The negative on the cruise was our waiter. He seemed like he was in a hurry to get us in and out. Not very personable. We attempted to change tables but were told there was nowhere else to put us? I feel like they could have moved us to another table.

I would recommend the islands but not necessarily Carnival.

Ship tip

If you have a bad waiter demand that they change you to another table. They told us they couldn't, but they can!

I get YTD and normally go around 8 or 830 and get a table for two. I've never been rushed before.

Did you have early dining by chance? They have to turn over those tables to fit the next group in, and if you enjoy a long, leisurely dinner that might not suit. That's why we prefer late dining.
