Met up with cruising friends which made it special. Met good friends. When you sign up for dining and check shared table, they don't give you that. You have to ask every night and then we would get a table for 6. We still may be eating alone. We have arranged for other couples to eat with up. This has been a problem since pandemic. Other folks signed up for sharing and were put at a table for 2.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
Carnival wanted you to complete Verifly and then didn't use it. Still had to show negative results. Verifly was a waste of time.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food was hot in dining room. Buffet not hot. Miss table cloths on formal nights.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
No divein theater.
Entertainment
1 out of 5
We have been on a lot of cruises and the shows are the same or close to the same. 8:30 R rated comedian was a little over the top.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Viewer room stewards so they are not able to be as thorough as before. Not their fault. Servers were super.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Pictures in elevators, yuk. Colors and carpets need updates. TV too small. Hair dryer needed replacing
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Size of interior room was ok. Closet doors squeak. Phone charging ports on the lamps was a great feature. Refrigerator kept drinks cold, best one we have had.
Ship tip
If you want ice in your room, ask the room steward. You need your phone for signing in for dining, menu and schedule.
No excursions. I shade, they cut down all the low trees that blocked the sun. My husband had to sit at the bar for shade. Sand is wonderful, water is great. No rocks and smooth ocean floor.
Thanks for your review. On our last cruise with friends we were able to look our friends up on the hub app and add them to our que for dinner. Added them once and when we checked in we could check mark everyone on the app. And we always dined together.
In Long Beach a week ago the checker thanked me for not using VeriFLY or the phone and appreciated my having all my paper in orderly stacks and passport bookmarked to the picture page by the paperwork. Went through that process fast, and the same for the checkin line (had a suite so front of the line). Wonder what else was wrong with embarkation that it rated a one? Can’t imagine a boarding that bad, unless it took 4+ hours of circling about with no one knowing what to do.
