Review summary

Solid cruise all around, but could use some upgrades to the outdated areas!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Smooth sailing. Relaxing. Could’ve been a little more fun, but we left on time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Wow, Guy’s Burgers was amazing. Pizza was okay. Restaurant was pretty good. One or two meals were slightly underwhelming, but there was a big selection. We loved the desserts!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Slides were fun and exciting. Pools were nice, but there wasn’t a lot to do after dinner for the entire family. There was only two comedians on board and the shows seemed more directed toward an older crowd.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Emma was great. The best show was the lip sync battle, but those involved passengers. Great job Joshua! The rest was directed more to the older crowd. Carnival definitely needs to go a little more modern with their shows. Too much 80s and 90s type stuff.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

They are always wonderful and we can never thank them enough. Awesome server at dinner time!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Nice and clean, but the ship design is a little old looking. Could use a few upgrades and a nicer looking design.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Maybe it was because it was our first time on deck 1, but the noise was extremely loud and bothersome when we were getting to port. Sounds would wake us in the early morning around 2-6am. Room needs to be a little cooler and we had the air all the way to it’s coldest setting.
