Review summary

This was my first cruise and I had an amazing time!!! I can't wait for my next cruise! My Carnival Cruise Line experience was awesome!!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation process was fast and stress-free.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Lido Deck.... The water was awful, juice was watered down, but the lemonade was good. The food was just ok. I enjoyed the breakfast offerings, the burritos for dinner, and hot dogs at late night the best. The desserts were not good. Your best bet is to get the ice cream. My fiancee loved Guy's Burgers. I'm not a big burger person so it was just ok for me. Dining room..... The serving sizes in the dining room were shockingly small. Lol The best dessert there was the ice cream & sherbert. I liked their breakfast food the best. Alcohol..... The bar staff makes good drinks that are not watered down. They are not cheap though. Lol The staff is so nice and the customer service is excellent.

Entertainment

I enjoyed the comedy shows the best. The comedians were surprisingly really good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every staff member we encountered was friendly, courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. Excellent service!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I had no complaints about the cleanliness of the ship or the design. Our room was cleaned daily, towels were replenished, and we got cute towel animals daily. All areas of the ship were always clean. No trash and food was left about.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was nice. We got an oceanview cabin. My only complaint was that there was nothing much to hold on to in the shower when the water was choppy. Took some years off my life a couple times. 🤣😂🤣😂

Ship tip

Bring your own water in cans, bring washing powder, dryer sheets, and quarters so you can wash onboard instead of taking dirty clothes home.

Disembarkation

I had no complaints. We left our bags outside of the room the night before and claimed them with no problems when we got off the ship. The line was long but we moved out swiftly.

You choose an EXCELLENT itinerary. Best in the Caribbean. Fascination is smaller and older but still awesome.
