Review summary

We had a family of ten on the cruise. I don't think anyone had a bad time. I know for sure I didn't. Malcom is the "Best" Cruise director we've encountered. He is very dedicated to his work and you can understand his speaking. If you truly read these ask Malcom about Debbie does Dallas and now Cruises.

Our dining staff Prasade and Eric were superp  Very efficient is their service and very personable. 

I would have given 5 stars but the food selections at dinner were not the best. I travel another Cruise Line and the selection is far better. Do wish the BBQr. and Guys were open longer than a few hours a day. Plus BBQ was horrible. Pulled pork was more like pork jersey. 

Is there a way I can get a video of the Hairy Chest contest and the Love and Marriage game? No, I was not in the contest but helped judge. BTW was really fun!

Please let Malcom, Prasad and Eric that we truly enjoyed their hospitality and they rated 5 Stars.

Ooops almost forgot a very important staff member, Randy or room steward. He was always there when we needed something and our room was always cleaned and in order.

Staff, Prasad and Eric were superb. Food selections were lacking.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Very good.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Bands not so good, especially Country band. All songs were played at the same beat and speed. Hubby and I are avid country dancers and we're not able to dance do to the beat and speed of the song.

Very nice. And was always clean and in order by Randy and staff.

Ship tip

Don't buy the pictures. Although we did buy a few the cost was ridicules. The photographers were not very good and only knew certain poses. If a different pose was suggested they would not adjust their thinking.

Be sure and let Carnival know who went above and beyond for you. It means alot to the staff. (This app is not affiliated with Carnival; they will never see your comments.) Glad you had such a great cruise!
