Review summary

This was our first cruise. We will be sailing with Carnival again. We had the best time ever.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was so quick and easy. We bought FTTF and it was the right decision.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Checking in was easy. Getting seated was quick. The staff was wonderful and we really felt at home.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We did 80's Trivia and Bingo. We watched Love & Marriage and Deal or No Deal. We watch the Comedy Show but wish you had an earlier adult show. Loved the Sail Away Party. There was so much to do but we found ourselves going from one end of the ship to the other. We defiantly got our 10,000 steps in.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Everything was fun. There was something for rveryone.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We loved all the staff. Neuman was our Steward. He made sure we had everything we need in our room. Always greeted us by name with a smile. Gabe was the best Cruise Director. Very versatile and lots of fun.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship's layout was ok. It was my first cruise so nothing to compare it with. Although the ship is old it was clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was perfect. There was lots of storage. We loved the balcony.

Ship tip

You really don't need everything you packed. A few outfits and some formal wear. We way overpacked.
