Carnival not for our family. Great for young partiers.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was well put together and efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Outside of specialty dining and the dinning room, the food was terrible. The buffet food is sub-par at best.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Onboard activities were lacking. We have had better experiences on Royal and Norwegian.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Just OK.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
Our youngest only went one day. He said there weren't enough organized activities. He's 12 so take that for wat it is.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff for the most part rocked.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship seems a little crowded for its size. The Atrium is really tight for the amount of people.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was great. There were four of us and it didn't seem cramped.

Ship tip

Eat at the dinning room or specialty dining.

A little slow but OK, this was due to a broken escalator.
