Review summary

First Carnival cruise. Much different vibe than Royal Caribbean. Prefer Royal Caribbean but would do another Carnival cruise on one of their newer bigger ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very easy. Only had to wait for stragglers debarking from previous weeks cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining room was good. Only ate at the Buffett for breakfast. Ok at best. Powdered eggs for breakfast was a little unexpected.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Enjoyed everything.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Was very enjoyable. Liked that most shows were 45 minutes to an hour.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Leon was great as the cruise director. Dining room staff, bar tenders and room attendant were fantastic.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Loved the layout. Hated the elevators. Never saw a “washy washy” station in the Buffett or anywhere else. Didn’t really think about it until our group of 4 got home and all had Covid.
