Review summary

Will not ever book another Carnival cruise. There are cruise lines that are much better. I go for quality over quantity. It would take something exceptional for me to book with Carnival again.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food often came out cold and not what the description indicated.it was like eating in a diner not fine dining.other than water stuff

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Other than water activities there was not much I liked. Most seminars ended with a sales pitch.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Except for one comedians not funny. Most of the music was too loud all over the ship. Not many stage shows and those they had were not professional.
