Barcelona has a fabulous embarkation setup.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

I hate to say this. The food was repetitious and not great. The main dining room wasn't worth the effort. They are woefully understaffed, and those poor people were running the entire time. I felt bad for them while I waited forever to get my cold and overcooked food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

the usual stuff.

Entertainment

Good

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I give them 5 stars because they ran like crazy to get everything done. THEY ARE UNDERSTAFFED. PLEASE CARNIVAL, HIRE MORE PEOPLE.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Considering it was coming out of dry dock, it was just okay. Again, probably not enough staff

Cabin / Stateroom

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

AWFUL, AWFUL!. TOOK HOURS. THE PORT HAD 3 STATIONS OPEN TO PASS US T6HRU CUSTOMS. THEN THERE WEREN'T ENOUGH BUSES TO TAKE ALL OF US THAT HAD PURCHASED TICKETS THE AIRPORT. MANY WENT TO ONE OF THE OTHER SHUTTLE SERVICES JUST SO THEY COULD GO. TOOK ME 6 HOURS TO GET OFF THE SHIP AND TO THE AIRPORT. I GOT TO MY GATE 10 MINUTES BEFORE MY FLIGHT WAS TO BOARD. YES, I LEFT PLENTY OF TIME6 TO DEBARK. CARNIVAL NEEDS TO STEP UP
