Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The quality of the food was delicious and perfect Temp for us. That said I found the wait staff to be pushy with buying an alcoholic beverage and we say "No" they continue with " you sure or you don't want any Tequila?"; No should meant no and it should be my choice to respect whether we want to consume alcohol. Outside of that, I enjoyed the seating arrangement in the main dining room in that my wife and I were able to enjoy dinner by ourselves if we want sometimes and we did, which also was nice. Lastly, the dining room show was as fun as usual. THX
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
It was a bit too cool for much outdoor activities but enjoyed some of the inside activities but the hot tub was more of a warm tub after asking the staff if it would open after the schedule time had passed. Different from other Carnival Ships. It was at least clean hot tub on the Lido
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Loved Disco and Rock n Roll shows. The cast and crew put on some entertaining shows. We did however feel as if the one the shows could use replacing (British Oldies) because this combined with the Disco show is a bit dated and focused too much at older music. That said iterating the guitarist at start of the Rock and Roll show was different from what I have seen in the past with Carnival and well played and fun show. Those dancers and stage Crew worked hard and were enjoyable.
Children's Programs

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Room Steward Cajetan did a great job of looking after us. He was punctual with his work and friendly. Seems like he deserves a day off. Additionally, I would say 5 Stars but after notifying another Steward and guest services about the discomfort we were feeling in our stateroom because it was so cold, especially on an Alaskan cruise which took 2 hours to get addressed by way of our assigned Steward ( Cajetan) when he came on shift at 0800. However when he reported his Supervisor, she was neither empathetic or friendly, instead she said "every individual room cannot control the their Temp", rude

Pretty art/ wallpaper and different motif from other Carnival Cruise Ship we've been on.
Cabin / Stateroom

So much room , we loved it, worth every cent spent on this room; especially on an Alaskan Cruise! We saw whales from our balcony and icebergs without any view obstruction
Ship tip
Use the Continental Breakfast Room Service because it's awesome and Free. Just make sure to be nice and tip a couple bucks for it.
Fun, hired a taxi and visited Bright Totem Park after stopping for local coffee along the way which hit the spot for good coffee. Then we went to visit Bifrost Blacksmithing where I saw a nice build of knives. Met the blacksmith who made the knives and purchased a nice blade with antler handle
