Review summary

All in all I wish it was 3 days way to long for me and way to crowded with food lines and waits.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
pretty uneventful but a little to long of a line

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The main dining room was not comfortable and the food was 'meh', One officer in charge on our 3rd night was obnoxious with the walkie-talkie and publicly berating the staff who were resetting tables. It was horrible. Food took to long and was nothing to write home about-best was the tiramasu worst was the NY steak.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There seemed to be a lot to do for partiers but not enough casual-not over-drinking events for those who like to have fun but not get drunk. Way too loud and wayyy to late (after midnight daily )

Entertainment

3 out of 5
performers were ok

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
she was ok with things again her age group didn't have a lot offered

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
A++ Gus the waiter our first night in the dining room and next few days on the back deck for "Drinkie Drinkie"

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Layout was obnoxious, constantly getting lost and elevators did not work properly.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
beds were horrific-cardboard stiff. Pillows could be fluffier-not so firm.

Ship tip

Stay on deck 7-8 as it should be away from the noise enough to get some sleep-otherwise constant banging, loud drunk people and party noises

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

3 out of 5
We did a non carnival snorkeling trip that was great Esperanza's treated us well, gave a great tour and did the snorkeling very well.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

3 out of 5
it was clean but not enough time to really see Cabo

Ensenada, Mexico

3 out of 5
nice entrance way better than Cabo to enter/exit ship

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
There needed to be better written info and once off the ship it was utter chaos leaving the parking structure leading to long long wait and drivers with bad tempers

Sorry your cruise was too long and you didn’t have fun. I can’t wait to board and I’m sure I will love it.
