Review summary

First cruise on a Carnival ship as a travel advisor. Could not be more impressed. Staff was amazing and the ship was the perfect size where it was big enough that you were never bored but small enough that you saw the same people over and over.

Food and Dining

Food in the main dining room was lackluster but the quick service venues were phenomenal

Alchemy Bar

5 out of 5

The best bar on the ship. Staff was amazing and really got to know their regulars. (Zora is the best!)

Ship Quality

Very dated ship that was recently revamped but still has early 2000s theme. Clean though! Always saw staff members going around cleaning.
