Review summary
Good value cruise. Our whole intention was to do some shopping away from home and we did just that. Very fun time with just a few disappointments.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
One minor problem. Luggage dropoff not clearly marked so I had to go through check in twice
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Buffet pretty ordinary but Guys Burger Joint was outstanding as always. A bunch of fun loving staff.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
I did not participate in anything so this is more of a N/A rating
Entertainment
1 out of 5
I know Carnival helps people all they can, but really? Do they actually PAY these people?
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Every staff person we met was professional, friendly, courteous, and helpful. I couldnt have asked for better staff.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Everything clean and maintained. My only faults was the mini suite was very mini. I think an ocean view cabin would have been larger
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Cabin was adequate. The only reason I did not complain was that our cabin steward was outstanding. As I stated above, I expected a bit larger cabin, and the balcony seemed to be a tiny afterthought to the designers.
Not easy to board, as we stayed at Queen Mary the night before, and walked to board. Since the luggage dropoff was in the parking garage, and we did not use that, I had to leave the checkout to drop off my bags or carry them on myself. Therefore I was separated from my traveling companion.
They don't have porters right in the front taking bags anymore? Strange. What do all the people do who are being dropped off? All the people coming off buses have to take their bags over to the parking structure?
