Review summary

I enjoyed this cruise despite issues. Carnival did a great job of keeping passengers entertained; and the ship is beautiful.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Long lines and slow processing despite making an arrival appointment.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet food was tasteless, but there were plenty restaurants to choose from.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fitness center was small and crowded but clean with nice equipment.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Atrium performers were great. Very relaxing environment.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Notified room steward that my TV was not working. He said he would send someone to look at it, but no one showed up. I contacted guest services and was told it was a ship-wide issue; it was being addressed. Never heard back from the cabin steward.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Ocean view was largely the bottom of a rescue boat. Could barely see the ocean.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

4 out of 5

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

4 out of 5
Ship couldn’t dock at Cabo. Long wait for the tinder to take passengers to shore.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Confusing. I signed up for Digital Disembarkation, but I see no benefit in it. Lines were still long to leave the ship; I exited with passengers carrying their own luggage; and I had to find my luggage after leaving the ship.

Thanks for the review. What is your complaint about finding your luggage that was brought downstairs for you? Did you want someone to find it for you?
