Review summary

Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. I understand the staffing shortage, it’s not carnival’s fault. My biggest complaint would be the drinks, we paid for cheers, but quickly switched to beer and whiskey bc the fun tropical drinks didn’t have any liquor in them at all.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room was great on elegant nights, food was ok on other nights.. the buffet wasn’t that great. The Guy’s burgers were amazing, the Blue Iguana was great too. The drinks were watered down, couldn’t even taste the alcohol and the bar service was really slow. Comedy shows we’re almost impossible to go to as the Limelught lounge fills up very quickly. The Piano Bar was our fav, Rawle is very talented, loved his voice. We more than likely won’t cruise again, it really wasn’t worth it to us.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools were too small, fitness center was great, would’ve liked more hot tubs in the evenings

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The last day the music on lido wasn’t great, but we did enjoy it the rest of the cruise. Again, piano bar was awesome
