Review summary

So many great memories made! It was a perfect first cruise for our kids.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Absolutely hassle free & so fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The buffet was meh as expected but we LOVED Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana, and the main dining room. Weirdest thing was that none of the desserts were even sweet...it was like they ran out of sugar. 😊 At least it helped us avoid gaining weight because we gave up on desserts!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We found plenty to keep us busy. We did a ton of mini golf, chess, played board games in the library, pool, hot tub, etc.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Deck parties were fun. The female comedian was so so good...not for the faint of heart but she was hilarious! Thought all the musicians we heard were great.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

We had a kid in club ocean (9-11), one in circle c (12-14), and one in club O2 (15-18)....they all had fun but in our opinion Club O2 was the best ran club.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Older but clean and we really enjoy this smaller ship class.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our steward Dwi set it up really nice. I was dreading having five people in one tiny room but it worked out so nice and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! We really had fun together. So glad Carnival has these 5 person room options. No issues at all with anything in our room.

Ship tip

Enjoy the great value & smaller, more intimate size ship. There are way more reasons to have positive feelings rather than negative feelings about this ship.
