Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Great service as usual with Carnival. Our room steward was the best. Neuman was awesome.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The design of the ship was easy to navigate but it is in need of dry dock to make some needed repairs. We saw several shattered windows.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Nice cabin with a minors issues. One of the closest doors wouldn't close completely, the light cover around the mirror were old and cracking, and we had to have house keeping come and repair our shower. The water temperature was on hell and couldn't cool down. But our room steward took great care of us.
