I recommend this ship and sailing in low season. It’s just too crowded for the spaces they have created. The staff was amazing.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Pretty easy experience however it was about 30 minutes delayed and the terminal got really crowded.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Pleasantly surprised. All the food was good that we tried. Main dining room, buffet, room service, Guys and Blue Iguana. I don’t like that Guys changed their fries. Not nearly as tasty. I still don’t understand why you only have one coffee bar for 4000 guests.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The pools were way too crowded except on port days. Fitness center was nice. The casino was incredibly smoky and crowded. Not enjoyable.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward and wait staff were amazing. Best we’ve had of our 5 Carnival sailings. We had a bee in our room and before we could track down our steward he had already taken care of it. Above and beyond!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
It feels super crowded in many spaces. Many areas are smaller than on much smaller ships in their fleet. For example the Alchemy bar and the hot tub in the spa. Disappointing. Overall it was pretty darn clean except the casino which had dirty ashtrays everywhere.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Overall it’s a great room. Our neighbors were quiet thankfully. There was some door slamming to the secret deck, but way worse on deck 14. If you know you know.
Ship tip
Be prepared for the crowds and smaller than expected spaces.
