Review summary

Overall cruise was wonderful, but the issue with the pool chairs was a deal breaker for me, doubt I will sail Carnival again because of not enforcing the 40min rule. Towels were left claiming chairs all day, no staff enforced the rule, leaving many, many folks unable to find chairs or sit by pool

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy and smooth

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining room for and service was excellent, guys burgers excellent for lunch, rarely went to buffet because of crowds

Only onboard activity we did was the pool, pool hogs left towels in chairs all day from before 8am and staff never enforced the rules. Was very disappointed

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Room was fine for the 3 of us, didn't spend alot of time but enjoyed sitting in the balcony in the AM before the kids woke up

Ship tip

Get to the pool and claim a chair with a towel before 8am, esp on the serenity deck

Chair hogs should not be a deal breaker. Say something or just sit down and relax. Put the stuff under the chair and use it. Say I was just keeping it warm for you. By that time you would be ready to get up anyway

Thanks for the review, chair hogs show no respect for anyone else, so just remove items

It's like that on most cruise lines. Non enforcement of chair hogs.

Wonderful trip. Can’t say enough about how great it was. I was on a Carnival cruise years ago and it was very lacking! Food was below par and not many activities.

PERFECTION!!!

Just what I needed!
