Review summary
This was my first and last Carnival Cruise. I have cruised 6 times before this trip and have never experienced a vacation cruise like this one. I went with 21 people so yes I had a great time once I was able to get a drink from the bar. Pool bars need more staff. Usually the dining room has a better selection of food, but I noticed the buffet on the lido deck was the exact as the dining room. I am a single mom and saved for 2 years for this vacation. I am grateful I got to share 4 days with my sons but was disappointed on how understaffed you were and how stressed the employees were. Some even made comments on how crazy the kitchen was and how busy they were. I don't blame the workers at all, I actually felt bad for them. They worked so hard, maybe too hard. If my friends and family did not join me on this vacation I probably would have rated it as the worst one I've taken.Embarkation

Ship tip
Bring your own hand soap and be prepared to wait on line for everything. They have 2 people in each section to service hundreds of people.
