Except for Cozumel excursion, we were very disappointed in the ship and the entertainment. Last trip on Carnival!

Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Main dining room very unorganized and chaotic. They need more staff. Lido buffet opened for dinner too late...4 pm would have been helpful. Burger joint just ok.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
Bingo, pool, shows, comedy club. Shows only lasted 30 minutes...should have been at least an hour.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Wasn’t impressed with staff entertainers.
Children's Programs
No kids
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Staff tried their best, but the wait staff in particular needed more help.
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
Very difficult ship to get around on-very chopped up. Poor ventilation in smoking areas.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Good size, but dated. Table had a big chip in the top. Window sill was rusted and the rubber seal coming off. Bathroom sink looked old. Bed not very comfortable. Steward did keep it clean.
Ship tip
DON’T! Spend a little more and take Royal Caribbean or another line instead
Took the cruise line excursion to Tabyana Beach. It might have been nice if there weren’t local vendors almost shoulder-to-shoulder between the beach and the water. They constantly accosted you to the point that I only went in the water twice in order to avoid them. I know they are trying to earn a living, but they should be limited to one area of the beach, not the whole area.
Took a non-ship excursion thru Trip Advisor sponsored Viator Tours. We went with Trikes Cozumel for a tour around the island with stops at El Cedral and Reyes Tequileria (with lunch). This excursion was awesome!!! Staff was wonderful. Best part of our trip.
