Review summary

As a Gold Member I was given no incentives no discounts no nothing. Paid full price even for my 4 year old had to pay $1000 to get him on this ship. If this continues I might break loyalty and jump to Royal Caribbean what's the point of loyalty if you give discounts to new people but not me your loyal gold member. And Carnival do something about the Marijuana getting on the ship it's out of control. And the children and teens running wild pushing old folk and terrorizing the elevators. Packs of teens in elevators going up and down closing doors on passengers for fun..... Bigger ships are not better stick to Vista or Dream class.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The main dish jubilee recommended on cucina del capitano with the mussles and pasta got me sick for 3 days good thing it was a 7 day cruise so my whole trip was not ruined. Stay away from that restaurant rude service very crowded sub par food. Everything else was great especially the staff in every other restaurant except cucina del capitano.

Should be considered Obstructed view a HUGE piece of steel blocks your entire view of the water. Your basically looking at rusty white metal roof. Should be cheaper no way should this be 1k a person
