Review summary

This cruise was all about pushing booze and the overpriced goods to buy. Understand Carnival are PARTY ships but this one was over the top. Getting drunk everyday and buying things I don’t need is not my idea of a relaxing vacation. Won’t do another Carnival cruise.

Ok

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Potions small. Several entrees sent back. Very little variety in buffet.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
elevators periodically out of service; excursions were good but online descriptions were too cryptic;

Entertainment

2 out of 5
The PR comedians were funnier than the R ones. Stage shows — need at least one famous or semi famous person. Music was too loud everywhere.

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Hire more bartenders— too long of wait and they need to learn to smile! Wait staff— more training. Some were finished eating while others at the table were waiting to be served. Have no idea who our steward was.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Clean as it could be. Ship definitely needs a remodel. Laundry— dryer went for 45 minutes and clothes were still very damp. Paid $3 and dried clothes hanging all over my room.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Cabin was fine. Definitely needs some maintenance and TLC throughout the ship.

Ship tip

Bring extra cash! And ear plugs.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

4 out of 5
Loved NOLA but we did it on our own before the cruise. Don’t miss Oceania restaurant (marvelous) and don’t bother with Daisy Dukes or Ruby Slipper.

Cozumel, Mexico

2 out of 5
Snorkeling time too short. They kept pushing booze on us.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5
Better. More time at the ruins but the beach after was way to short. Lunch was so so.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Not bad. Went pretty smoothly.
