Review summary

We enjoyed ourselves. We loved our cabin location and the adults only section. The people on the ship were friendly and fun. We mostly relaxed. Food quality and selection could have been better. I didn't like the push to use the Carnival hub app.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
There was a lot of waiting but we were still aboard prior to our check in time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was just okay, not great. Would have liked more variety at dinner and on buffets.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the Havana area. We also loved the sky ride.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
The first 2 comedians were just okay. The last 2 were bad. They need to find people who can make a PG show funny. Using the f word is not funny, just shows lack of comedic talent. And making fun of deaf people is just crass.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was super friendly as always.

Cabin / Stateroom

I loved the location. I didn't know this was the only one without a couch. The balcony was very nice. The private staircase was great too!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
It took a long time and was crowded. Coming back into a different section, we chose to walk back to our car. It was very humid and hot. If we had got off sooner, it would have been more bearable.

Agree with you regarding pushing the Hub app. Give me the old daily Fun Times and real menus.
