Review summary

Camp ocean was a bust. Needed more available food options. More activities for the kids.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

It was frustrating that certain restaurants were closed and the only options were the burger place. When the boat was leaving and everyone came back hungry the lines were Long and options were limited. There weren’t any kids options at the Buffett. No need to try to make fancy options. Basics for kids would’ve been nice.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Camp ocean was a joke. We had 10 kids between us and not one of them enjoyed this. There weren’t any fun activities planned. They were stuck in 1 room with not much to do. I would’ve liked more kid friendly activities and more things to do through out the day. We did enjoy trivia that was fun.

Entertainment

We were able to go to the 80s show and it was great.

Agree about the food choices and options! I understand Carnival is working to change that. I also would have liked to hear more about some of the things you did like about the cruise though, instead of just the things you didn’t. Sorry you did t enjoy your cruise.

That's why Disney is always better for kids. Other cruiselines are not prepared for them and neither are other passengers.
