Very fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I really didn’t like the food. It wasn’t cooked properly. Eggs was watery and steak wasn’t well done

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

It was bored. They need more activities. The last 2 sea days was no activities

Entertainment

3 out of 5

It was ok. They need to play more black music.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Some bartenders refused to give straws for drinks. They need more customer service training.

I love the design. I’ve seen people working hard keeping it clean and safe

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Too small.

Carnival cabins are some of the largest at sea.

The cool thing about dining in the MDR is, if you don't like something you can just order something else. If the steak wasn't to your liking, you should have sent it back. There is always something to do on the ship. No reason for anyone to be bored.

Cruise ship cabins ARE small. That is to be expected. Sounds like this was your first cruise? Cruises are what you make of them. I live sea days. There’s usually not enough of hem to do everything they have to offer on a cruise.

You could have gotten your eggs cooked in front of you at the omelette station. If you were board you didnt read your fun times.

You went to some great ports if it gets a bit quite grab your book and a cocktail and take time out ... why do some people need to be entertained 24x7? Is beyond me ? The entertainment varies on every ship and can’t always please everyone? It is what it is yr on vacation enjoy ...

Oh my goodness, 2 days without activities? What happened? Did you stay in your room? I know there are tons of activities on the ships! Something for everyone! Did all the comedians get sick? Night clubs close? No Playhouse productions? No trivia, or any other games? Casino? Piano Bar? No movies? No swimming pool? No ping pong? No mini golf? I am sure if you went into the night clubs you would have had more music to your liking. The rooms are too small? You get what you book. An average cabin is smaller than an average hotel room. It doesnt bother me I just sleep there. So all you ate was steak and eggs. Did you ask to have them recooked? I find the MDR quite good. What about pizza? Blue Iguana or guys burgers?
