Review summary

Won’t do it again. I made it fun for myself but I wouldn’t take a carnival cruise again. Ports of call were uneventful, didn’t have time to really see or do anything…felt very fake and scammy. Not worth the money tbh

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Make you throw away water so they can sell you water on the boat. Very wasteful. I hope they give it away to the less fortunate otherwise that’s disgusting.

Ship experiences

Entertainment

Comedy shows were fantastic. I wish they were longer!!!

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
If your kid is under 5 do not take them on this cruise. No games, accommodations, entertainment for children at all. Made parents with kids under 5 stay on the boat in port unless they paid for excursions. Rip off and False advertising.

Service and Staff

Everyone seemed secretly miserable and I don’t blame them.

Enjoyed everything about it.

Ship tip

Don’t bring kids under 5 unless you want to be stuck on board. Don’t bring water in your carry on unless you want them to throw it away in front of you. Prepare to add another 1000+ dollars to your trip and go to guest services and take off the gratuity if you’re tipping yourself. They don’t tell you they charge everyone extra money for little things. Pay attention to your receipt.

Only got 6 hours here. Went on an excursion with way too many people. Guides were fun the other people were not. Needed more time
