Review summary

It was a nice vacation away. Getting drinks with my purchased drink plan was annoying, because the waiter always wanted a tip which defeated the purpose of paying ahead of time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

We had to pick a time for embarking, but there was no point. It was a fast process, but there was no appointment you just waited in line with everyone else.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was good on the buffet, the selection wasn't always great.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Several choices, just not enough for all the guests on at sea day.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Performers were very talented.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Great room steward for my room. Waiters knew our names when we saw them on the boat other than dining.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean. There was always someone cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was tight quarters. The room could accommodate four people with bunks. It was easy to hit your head on the folded bed above you.

Ship tip

It's a lot of walking. It was very easy to get confused about where you wanted to go and not always easy to get directions to where you wanted to go.

We did a driving tour and had a great driver. The suggestion for lunch was okay, but overly pricey.

If by “wanting a tip” you mean they gave you the receipt to sign, they have to do that. You are able to leave the extra tip line blank and just sign. I can’t imagine them actually asking you for a tip.

Carnival drink 🍸 policy sucks. Treat you like a kid. Cruise Princess mucho better.
