Review summary

This was my first cruise and will probably be my last, at least on Carnival Cruiseline.

I was very pleased with my room w/balcony and my steward was very nice!

However, the food was very disappointing, this includes the food on the buffets and the food in the restaurants. The entertainment, "The Playlist" group was also very disappointing. Seriously, none of the men could sing and only two of the women had singing talent. The Cruise Director, Malcom Burn, was excellent and entertaining!!

In order to be able to sleep at night, I had to take drugs to knock me out. There was so much noise going on at all hours of the night, from the cleaning staff yelling up and down the hall at night to passengers yelling and screaming up and down the halls at all hours of the night........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....it was horrible to try and get a good night's rest.

I did not find cruising to be relaxing at all. I am not the only person who felt this way about this cruise. We talking with two different couples who were seasoned cruisers and they were also very disappointed in this cruise (food and entertainment).

All this to say, the staff on this cruise was VERY nice and polite, which was enjoyable.

Like I said before, if I ever cruise again, it will be on some other cruise line.

Thanks for listening.

I loved the room with the balcony. However, this room was across the hall from the Laundry room and there was noise coming from that room all night long. One night, I woke up to a shop vac being used, so I got up, opened my door and a crew member was using the shop vac in the laundry room, late at night. I asked him to stop, that people were trying to sleep.......geeeeezzzzzzz.....

Ship tip

Don't do it. Do not sail on Carnival. You pay a lot of money to take the cruise but once you get on board, EVERYTHING cost you money, from playing Bingo to getting coffee at the coffee bar.........
