Review summary

All in all relaxing cruise. Met some great people. The crew was awesome. Food needs a lot of work to get back to what it was pre pandemic.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The two nights we ate in the MDR were ok. Not alot of selection though. The buffet was the same menu EVERY morning. We ate alot of omelets. Bacon only 3 of six days and still being rationed. Lunch and dinner at buffet was either ribs, fish, some form of dry pasta, or Indian themed. Pizza is not back from pre pandemic.. very little toppings. Sandwiches from the deli were good but over toasted. Food in general was meh.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Same activities as any other Carnival ship. I know Cookie Monster is a lott of peoples favorite CD, I don't see the allure. Couldn't hear him half the time on announcement, and when you could, he talked way too fast.

Service and Staff

Awesome ! Always smiling and very personable. Our cabin steward Camello was amazing 👏 and left all my cruise buddies for both legs of our B2B.

Ship Quality

Didn't care for the ship setup or the elevators 😟 terrible system. As far clean... everything was constantly being wiped down. Crew was wonderful with that.
