Review summary

This being our 13th cruise with Carnival I don't think we will cruise Carnival again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Since we are Platinum on Carnaval check in was very quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The food in the main dining room was below par. Beef was over cooked and tough. The appetizers were the best part of the dining room. The specialty dining options had the best food. Excellent meal in the Steakhouse, sushi very good and the seafood shack excellent.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
no rating because we did not partake in any of the activities

Entertainment

did not go any of the shows

Children's Programs

no children

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
all of the staff we encountered were friendly and service very good

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
layout is normal Carnival and ship was kept clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
overall the cabin was comfortable and since Carnival only has once a day service it was clean but that is it

Ship tip

enjoy that it is not an extra large ship just the right size.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port

used to live there

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
we have been there before and so rented a golf cart. They gave us a map and it was terrible. wanted a nice beach to snorkel at one that had calm water had no one there and the one beach we found with people the water was very rough. Overall Grand Turk is a nice small island.

Bimini, Bahamas

2 out of 5
We had reserved a gold cart online and they did not have one for us. They offered a broken one in place. The free shuttle only takes you to locations that are part of the resort. We neve got to see non resort part of the island.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Off in first group. In car and on the way home by 9.

We pretty much now cruise for the boat ride. Don’t care about ports, shows or food quantity.🚢🚢🚢

The destinations might not have been the best and the sea was rough due to weather lately. But sorry this cruise did not live up to what you have come to expect on Carnival.

What took so long? We decided after our third

I noticed a trend when the whale tail had her second accident. It's trend to hate on it when there is a lot of video footage showing the food and everything the ship offers.
