Review summary

Do not recommend Carnival. Terrible organization getting on and off. Changed itineraries while cruising due to passenger medical emergency which is expected. Will not be back.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Terrible organization. Worse than a herd of cattle. Trying to get incoming on board while getting outgoing off. Very congested.

Guy’s burger joint was great. Highly recommend. Other food was good. Main dining is not high quality. Stick with buffets.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

Very disorganized and chaotic. Carnival continued to blame customs for the delays/backups when the real issue was trying to get us off quick while crew cleans rooms and boarding new passengers at same time.
