Review summary

Entertainment was very good. Comedy shows very good. Guy’s Burgers lived up to the reviews we’ve read. Long lines at Mexican burrito bar, so it looked very good. Didn’t like the time spent in dining room for room temperature food.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

I used my own scooter for first time. Had proper paperwork but no one asked for it. No problem..y passport picture was used for security picture. Room keycard was in the room mail slot. Convenient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet foods were the same at each section so less crowding. We did not use specialty dining this time. Dining room was very disappointing. We arrived on time for dinner at 6 pm. Our waiter waited till he had food orders from many tables in his section before keying into computer. We did not receive our appetizer for twenty minutes. Food was 20 minutes later...room temperature. I had nothing arrive hot or warm. We ate in buffet more since food was warmer there. Loved the real cakes in buffet area. All were fresh and tasty.

Entertainment

Performers in evening main show were very good. I’ve been on 50 cruises and the 12 dancers singers were some of the best.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Not happy with dining room practice of waiting to put in orders so long. They were not that busy. Room stewards excellent. Other ship personnel very good; smiling and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cleanliness was excellent. Ship design was surprising. For the size of the ship we were confused by how much smaller public rooms were in comparison. Especially the main show room.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Size smaller for inside compared to same category on otherCarnavel ships. Not enough drawers
