Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Drinks were good. Food was fair. Much less of a section than other Carnival ships. Dessert usually only had 4 cakes. Main dining was not much of a change and food taste was not as good

Onboard Activities

Not impressed with the white party. There was a message there was going to be no 80's party so I left costume at home a d of course they had an 80's party

Entertainment

Loved all of the staff. William our room steward for 8427 was aweso.e. wish I could take him home. Matre d in forward dining was also a blast. Actually thought he was better than cruise director

You said you received a message ‘no 80s party’ and they had one. Just so you know it’s on Carnival website that this is offered on All Carnival Ships. Here’s the link https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3895/~/deck-parties
