Review summary

Get a Dry Dock ASAP. Our cabin happened to be above rust breaking which was no fun to hear Jack hammering sound non stop inside our cabin and on our balcony. And I dont mean while in port, but AT SEA as well. My wife was not happy. But like any cruise, we made it work.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining got better after 1st night, but to be expected. Red Frog was by far the most fun crew. Sports bar was a good change of pace but other then game day, was dead.

Onboard Activities

Children's Programs

Normally I can't keep my 7 year old out of camp. This time, she was not as entertained other then build a bear. She said the staff were not as much fun.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Overall, the staff acted as if they were over worked and tried. Not the norm for most Carnival cruises.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Boat is ready for a dry dock. They were rust breaking just below our balcony, which left us with a deafening noise half of the time. Wife was not happy.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Fridge did not work, they brought us a cooler with ice (better then nothing I guess) Balcony door mechanism was broke which caused it to slam shut every time (sorry neighbors) Drains were clogged, but got that cleared :)

Ship tip

Think twice before booking. Ask if any scheduled maintenance onboard and if so get cabin as far away from it. It is an older ship that needs a drydock, badly so dont expect a Breeze or Magic.
