Review summary

Overall Carnival compared to the other ships I've traveled is 100% the worst. The cruise failed on every front and overall I've never been around so many unhappy workers.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Average, nothing to complain about or be excited about.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Terrible, the food was horrible on board this ship. The ship was dirty, the staff was rude, the kids prize games were impossible to win. Everything on the ship felt like they were begging for your money. In short it felt like being at Circus Circus in Las Vegas.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
The activities on the ship were unimpressive and not very many of them.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
One good act came on the second day but other than that the entertainment was mediocre.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
The children program was a boring babysitter. The club was unorganized and chaos.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
The staff all over the boat was rude and miserable. The happy waiters were at the main dinning hall, and the magician.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
Ship was old and very dirty.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
We had the suite and it was nice, however we had a handicap suite which no one told me I booked and so that was irritating with the automatic door.

Disembarkation

Long Lines and I thought with the Suite we were supposed to have priority disembark but overall it wasn't terrible.

No cruises listed to compare. Looks like a fake review of the 3 day cruise. The 4 day has been a lot of fun for us, we have booked our 3rd time for next fall. The crew is sometimes worn out understandably so, I can’t imagine how they turn this ship around every 3rd & 4th day! The 4 day is known to be better than the 3 day.

I think I can figure out how to have a good time.

Here we go, nothing was good. I've been on that ship many times both for 3 or 4 days, never ever dirty, never a ride employee, never bad food.. I understand people have there own opinions, but really now.

I don’t think cruising is for you. Everything will not always be perfect. It’s what you make of it.
