As Diamonds we’ve done about 30 cruises with Carnival.. every ship has its own “vibe” , there were times some folks seemed stressed- I would too if I was on a boat for 6 months, overall it’s what you make of it. We loved this ship we loved this intinerary, have the next one already booked
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick and easy, right in our window time, waited about 30 minutes to board in the upstairs lounge
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The dining room was its usual 2 hour dinner service.. just plan for that and if you your planning to see a show or catch another activity maybe do the lido buffet so your not frustrated…. We went only twice when we knew we wanted to linger.
We ate at 3 of the speciality restaurants were we knew the service would be quicker and timed the evening activities accordingly
Thought the buffet was good ….like the square pods in the lido next buffet it gets people thru quicker than standing in a long single file line
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We enjoyed the casino in the evening, went to 3 imax theather shows and two stage shows ( shows seem about the same after a while)
The piano bar was always a nice quite spot to have a drink before dinner and the bar was never crowded
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Cleaning crews were always visible
I always tip the pubic restroom gals when I see them .. what a job they have
Waiters in all the Speciality dining were great especially JiJis
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
All areas were well maintained inside and outside the ship
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Rodel our cabin steward was a quite gentle soul that answered any requests.. not that we had many
They are truly stars of the show with how hard they work
I always leave a gift bag that includes an extra cash tip, savory package snacks, a bottle of really good hand lotion and socks
He was very grateful
We did a day pass to the Marriott resort about 15 minutes away.. beautiful beach lovely fresh water pool and our ticket included lunch.. it was a very nice day
Getting off was easy, there was a little drama by the buses as the staff there was more unorganized directing people with there luggage which bus to go one.. there were some angry people getting on our bus to the airport as they were miss directed once or twice.. we all got to the airport 😁
Don’t under how being a “diamond” matters to the review. Folks seem to think the more you cruise your word is gospel. We all can make the same judgment no matter our status. JMO
You say "there were times some folks seemed stressed. I would too if I were on a boat for 6 months".....what does that mean? Who was on a boat for 6 months?!
