Review summary

Great trip, we had a great celebration of my parents 50th Anniversary! My 8 year old LOVED Camp Ocean, could barely tear her away. Pools on the ship are salt water, so be prepared, bring your goggles! Grand food and fun waiters, you must step out of your comfort zone and try different kinds of food...we had wonderful escargot, tongue and much more!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Wait staff was wonderful, but stateroom attendants weren't as friendly as some cruises before, we didn't get a different towel animal every night!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Could have been a little cooler, A/C could have worked a bit more but someone was always cleaning!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved the balcony

Ship tip

Don't even try to use your cell phone, wifi you pay for is slow and you are on vacation, put up the tech and enjoy yourself!!

Use Carnival excursions so you are first off on to the tenders. KEEP your tickets, they put stickers on you but then at the buses they want tickets!
