Review summary

A great trip! We always enjoy our Carnival cruises! Food seems to be going a bit downhill but we don't book for the food!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

First cruise port in a long while when you had to board by boarding group numbers. All in all, not so bad. No way to get drinks while waiting that we could find. "Concession" area was dark and empty.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

For an Italian style ship, I would have liked to see more pastas or Italian style foods.

Lido Marketplace

3 out of 5

Not a great selection. Last day there were different foods at each buffet station. Not that way any other day. Wish we would have known before standing in line at the one we would have least desired.

JavaBlue Cafe

5 out of 5

Mocha Frappuccino is my go-to! Always great on Carnival ships!

Guy's Burger Joint

3 out of 5

Not the best guys burger I've ever had but was decent.

Firenze Casino

4 out of 5

Only real issue was other guests sitting at machines to smoje, not playing and refusing to allowing anyone else to play, and for extended periods of time.

Cabin / Stateroom

Bathrooms smaller on this ship however the room and bathroom had plenty of room for the two of us. No real noise considering the location.

Ship tip

Learn how to use the smart elevators the correct way and you won't get frustrated. You have to select the floor you want for each person in your party. This way the elevator knows how much room it needs and will make less stops if necessary.
