I love the Center Stage area and the Heroes lounge area
Embarkation
3 out of 5
A little chaotic but better than the past
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We only ate at the MDR once the food was very good but we wanted to try the other restaurants which were all very good
A special thank you to the staff at the 555 steakhouse all very professional and to Vasty a young woman from India always smiling and very friendly
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
My boys enjoyed their ride on the Bolt roller coaster I waited until the last day and they had to cancel due the wind level so don’t wait schedule early
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The shows are incredible and with the Center Stage area plus the theater and the other venues plus the different times a day they perform you’ll be able to see them all if you plan ahead
Utilize the Carnival Hub App and that will help
Piano player Ben Gentry was one to the best
Shows : Rio Carnival/ What age have to do with it/ my future husband/ the world works here- all very good
Plus I’ve always enjoy the Military Appreciation and St Jude
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff at Carnival is always so nice and welcoming
This cruise was bittersweet since myself and two sons said another goodbye to my wife whom wanted her ashes scattered at sea A HUGE THANK YOU to Carnival for the care and compassion they displayed especially to Daniel Sosa whom coordinated the ceremony
They also followed up with a very nice letter detailing the date/ time and location and the captain signed the letter
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
I was a bit worried about the size of the number of passengers but the design of the ship I never felt overcrowded
The only negative would be the elevators can be trying at times
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin was comfortable and always cleaned perfectly by our stewards Sigit whose was always smiling and pleasant
Ship tip
Just explore the ship and utilize the Carnival Hub to maximize your enjoyment
They left passengers carrying their own luggage off at 6;30 —90 minutes earlier due to a ceremony with Christine Duffy (CEO of Carnival
If they can do this when a ceremony is scheduled why can’t they do this every time
I too plan to be buried at sea. My family will be the one's to carry it out. It sounds beautiful and thanks for your post. It is the first. Condolence to u and your family
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I’ve heard from others, the ceremony at sea is just beautiful. Glad you and your family had a wonderful time. Thank you for your review.
