Review summary

Love Carnival Cruise Line even though I was not happy with this ship it is not stopping g me from cruising again. The other thing that I did not like was the Elevators and people who don’t follow directions on how to use them!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

No issues for right on

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Found the Main dining very slow, seemed very unorganized. Specialty dining was good, did Hibachi Buffet: sandwich place is slow and the sandwiches were not good. I have been on 14 other Cruises (Carnival Cruise Line) and have never had a bad experience as on this ship.

I wasn’t a fan of this ship either but I’d probably try it again. The elevators weren’t too bad but I did watch a video prior to sailing to be familiar.

Thanks for your review. People never are kind and courteous when it comes down to the elevators.

A lot of people didn't watch the elevator video, so it was easy to do.

Except for dining (about half the cruise!) sounds like a decent trip.

Thanks for sharing. We were on the same cruise and completely agree about the main dining room.
