Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good. It the breakfast buffet could use more varieties and the same for the main restaurant. Food was delicious but it did feel a bit repetitive for breakfast and fewer choice for dinner

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Always something to do. The team work very hard to make sure everything was smooth and people got to enjoy the facilities. The only down side was the resort pool can be a bit bigger but it due to the age of the ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Absolutely excellent quality! The entertainment team is Broadway level. Singers and dancers are just amazing. The ship entertainment director is superb, great communicator and very friendly.

Children's Programs

Great job here as well. My 11 year old was able to enjoy the activity and we had time to enjoy the Spa.

Room steward Mrs. Myriam is excellent. She was always making sure our room was good to go and we had all the information for the day. Great team!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved the cloud 9 accommodation, this will be something my family will look for on all Carnival ships from now on. The cabin was good, it did have some cosmetic minor issues from daily use but nothing that prevents the function of the room. The bathroom door need some WD40 and it would be great to have shampoo and conditioner separately in the cabin vs just one combination.

Ship tip

Mainly oa to read the fine print on the boarding process. We called and asked about bringing drinks on board and we're told ot was okay as long as it was 750 ml per person and both of our drink were removed from our luggage because we did not know it had to be carried. We wasted our money and time. In addition, my steamer was also removed and all I was tracking that was not allowed it was the irons. Laundry is super small, I will just tell people to locate the laundry early in the trip.
