Overall the cruise was a good experience primarily because the island stops were fabulous. The boat itself was outdated over rated and carried a lot of loud obnoxious guess who made the trip seem cheap and uncomfortable. I would not recommend this cruise to anyone I never once got in the pool because I was grossed out to do so, The food preparation and quality was overall OK and the alcohol wine etc. was overpriced. We loved our ocean suite and spent a lot of time there actually sitting outside since the privacy afforded a much more beautiful vacation experience. The staff was courteous kind and helpful. All in all I was disappointed and embarrassed that I had brought my fiancé on such a rinky-dink looking boat with very few interesting things to do on it except go to the gym, the comedian shows were good. This ship needs a complete overhaul. I have traveled w Holland America and Norwegian Cruise lines prior and as I mentioned I was very disappointed with Carnival.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Food prep was hit or miss. The Wine overpriced, few specialty Restaurants and the buffets were mediocre. The Lido area for good service had not enough seating and the overall decor was ugly and cheesy.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
The Gym and machines were excellent. The pools, whirlpools and-common outdoor areas were packed with loud, offensive looking, tattooed and ill- mannered
People.
Entertainment
1 out of 5
The comedians were very good. It would have been great to have an indoor movie theater and not the only one being outdoors on the loud obnoxiouslido
Children's Programs
No children taken on board
Service and Staff

Overall the service and staff were courteous, kind and were trying hard to do a good job.
Ship Quality
1 out of 5
The ship looked old, cheesy, and outdated. The different levels where not well designated and the elevators did not show what was on each level. Signage was poor and people were always asking how to get to wherever. The dining areas, lounges, casino and just about anywhere you looked appeared like it had been created 30 years ahs
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
This was the best part of our ship experience, it was outdated in decor but comfortable, accomadating and clean.
Ship tip
I would not recommend this cruise ship to anyone. The islands where we stopped was the only true highlight of our vacation.
The excursion was fantastic, our guide, bus your of Puerto Plats , The botanical gardens with the statue of Christ the Redeemer and the ride down in the cable car we’re all very beautiful and charming.
Beautiful and amazing city. Love the tour of the colonial city not so much the contemporary part of the city and the tour of the Spanish fortress as well as the colonial buildings andin history was very well done our Guide was excellent.
Gorgeous quaint island where we swim with the stingrays and snorkel with a private boating tour called Papa J they did a beautiful job of explaining to us the natural resources and over all beauty of the island. I would highly recommend them
