Review summary

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was well organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We didn’t like the small cramped area where we had to wait for the dining room to open. We were all dressed up and sweating and felt like we were suffocating it was so hot. The food was ok and some of it was good. It was NOT cool that the cheers program doesn’t start until day 2. Everyone seemed surprised by that. A real disappointment!! I don’t think making everyone buy the drink package if one buys is fair either. I understand why you do it, but it out case, my husband rarely drinks but I pretty much made him drink just to make sure we didn’t waste money.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We loved our room and our steward. The bedding was off the chain good!!

Ship tip

The way that the safety meeting was done is horrible. I can only imagine lining up like that if it was 100 degrees out side.

Having to wait until 2nd day for drink package is not because of carnival it is the Port because we are in Texas. All ships out of Galveston have to do that.

Hi, I’d like to know some differences between carnival and royal. I’ve only been on carnival and trying to talk my husband into cruising out of Florida on the Harmony.
