Review summary

Traveled with a group of 10 and was the first time to have the hub app available. It was great to be able to get with group for meet up times, etc... Had a wonderful cruise. Would do that ship and itinerary again!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Lines were a lot longer than we have experienced in the past. Also, were with others that were in an earlier boarding time and I thought it odd that my wife and I could not board with them even though we were in the next boarding time. Not a big deal just thought it odd.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Enjoyed all the food. Guy’s and Blue Iguana are always a favorite.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We try to participate in a lot of the activities on board and even won a Cornhole competition.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Always enjoy the entertainment. They do a good job and you get to relax in the air conditioning and continue to have a nice beverage.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Never seem to have issues with any of the staff. Always find the stewards wonderful on Carnival.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Older ship and has some painted over feel to it from the exterior but was clean and appeared maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Always love a balcony! On this trip the door would not seal properly so there was a whistle the whole time. Not so bad it ruined the experience just not as quiet as usual. Steward try to get someone to help fix but didn’t work out.
