Review summary

We went on this cruise with our kids and grand baby.  The staff and boat were exceptional!  The food was excellent.  The general group that was on this ship however were young adults who were having a good time.  This as opposed to families like you would have on a Disney cruise.  There is a great water area on the top of the boat, but the kids zone is pretty small and dark inside.  The evening entertainment was pretty much adult.  There was only like one thing a day you could take a child to with you.  I don't fault Carnival at all, this is the market this cruise is for.  I think next time I would pick a more family oriented cruise line for our kind of fun.  I will just reiterate that the cleanliness and the staff were 5+ stars, but the entertainment was just not up my alley.  The staterooms were the best of any I have been on by the way.  They were fresh and well kept with lots of space.  i loved hanging out in our room!

Ship tip

Dont come with small kids. This is a smaller cruise ship and there are very little things you can do with your kids. A lot of young drinking party folks on board.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California
