Review summary

This cruise was our first. From the moment the Atrium steals your breather from you, to every experience on board and at your destinations, the experience is like nothing else!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
As first time cruise we had no clue how everything went. But that process became clear and they guided you as it happened. Process was smooth and got right on board to enjoy some tasty five guys and a drink.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All the food is amazing even the specialty restaurants. Lido os great for fast breaks, we loved taking advantage of sea day Brunch the very best!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Plenty to see and do for a smaller ship. It would be hard to get board on a cruise ship so many options for all ages.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Game shows, broad way style musicals, and comedy shows. All very entertaining.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

If you like Carnival, you will love other cruise lines! Less kids, better service.
