We have cruised on Carnival quite a few times, so it has predictable experiences for us. The staff and food are always good. The ship was clean, but it needed some TLC. The entertainment was OK, but it's not really why I cruise. I cruise to relax and enjoy my balcony experience along with seeing some new places. In that sense, this cruise was spot-on.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
It went smoothly, no problems.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Carnival food is usually very good, and this was no exception.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
I don't usually get involved in very many activities on the ship. The pools are typically too cold and crowded. I tried to watch the Super Bowl at the outdoor theater, but the sound volume was much too loud.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
The theater shows were the same ones we have seen before, so we didn't participate. The comics were the raunchiest and most combative I've seen, so I didn't enjoy them. The rock band was good, but not great.
Children's Programs
I didn't have any children with me.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The ship's crew had great attitudes and were very helpful.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The ship's layout was OK. The cleanliness was great! The maintenance of the ship could use some attention.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin was great, and I really enjoyed the extra room on the extended balcony. Someone near us was smoking on their balcony, and Carnival dealt with it promptly and completely.
Beautiful island, lots of fun. We did an excursion, and the organization at the beginning was a bit messy. Once the excursion started, it all went well thereafter.
We did the snorkeling excursion on the Samur, and we had a very nice time. The captain and crew did their best to make the activity memorable. I would do it again!
