Review summary
I enjoyed myself for the most part but I go on vacation to rest and to get away from my hectic everyday life.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Deli
I loved the staff and the food. I failed to get the name of the Asian female that serviced me but she was completely courteous and kind when I was unable to make up my mind. I want her to receive proper credit but I think her name began with a J or was Jan or something. She was extremely polite and courteous each time I visited the deli. Kudos to her and she is an asset to the Deli.
Blue Iguana Cantina
The food here was wonderful and the staff was courteous. I love the taco salad more than the fish tacos. They have a watermelon salsa that is out of this world.
Mongolian Wok
After 4 cruises, I now understand why the lines for this place are always so long. You can create your own dish with unlimited noodles and veggies. Th is is also a wonderful concept for Carnival and I am grateful for it. I love to watch the chefs operate in their crafts while cooking the various choices that people make.
Guy's Burger Joint
I have never been able to eat regular burgers ever since my first Guy's Burger. Sometimes they can be a little heavy on the salt with the fries, but the burger's male up for it. Thank goodness that Carnival has the sense to have this joint on each ship. The lines are always long and that speaks volumes.
Redfrog Rum Bar
I was introduced to new drinks on this cruise through this bar. I love their daily specials.
The Posh Restaurant
Three words, Denton, Derrick and James. They made the experience a blast. Csaba (Chubby) the maitre D was also wonderful, funny and kind. I loved the entertainment this month as well.
Cherry on Top
Ordered a cake for a birthday and it despite me asking for a name to be written on it. Won't do that again.
Onboard Activities
The Fun Shops
I live for the $10 days. I purchased my first ever beach hat on Carnival and I now have no less than 10 in my collection thanks to Carnival. The buy 4 get 1 free special is a great deal. And this time I also benefited from the purchase of Ciroc in various flavors. Keep up the good work.
Fitness Center
Great concept for all the eating that is accomplished on a cruise. The gym was nice and up to date.
Entertainment
Carnival Seaside Theater
There were children in the pool each night I tried to watch movies and they were extremely loud to the point that several patrons kept looking at them but they were bot fazed as they seemed to get louder. I eventually gave up after trying for two nights in a row.
