Review summary

This was our first cruise. I brought my 18 year old daughter as a high school graduation gift. We had a ball and enjoyed the great food, but gained about 5 pounds! We got an upgraded room with a balcony that was amazing to be able to sit out and watch the sunrise and sunsets and the moon and stars while eating cheesecake from room service at 1 am! We played bingo, listened to music, watched movies in the pool, saw stage shows and comedians. We participated in Harry Potter trivia and made special Build A Bears. There was plenty to do to keep us busy. The only things that didn't meet my expectations were that there was no area of the casino that was non-smoking. We would have played if we could breathe! We also had requested a king size bed and got two singles, but we just settled for it. Loved the room service, and the wait staff in the dining room. The wait staff was amazing ... personable, always happy, very accommodating. We had problems with directions, especially at muster. Crew did not know where different muster areas were. We were directed to our area by several different people and went in circles for 30 minutes. Expected to stand outside for muster for over an hour for 5 minutes of instruction -- unacceptable. Could absolutely be better organized. Will definitely cruise again.

The larger Carnival ships do muster inside. The smaller ones outside.

I have been told other cruise lines seat everyone in the common areas- theater, MDR's etc for muster drill. I think Carnival should look into that as a viable option. At least people don't have to stand in the heat all squished on top of each other!

Good review and glad y'all had a blast. 7 cruises down and I can tell you a few of them had their hiccups. But, that has not stopped us. You have a good attitude & glad y'all made good memories!

Yep sure muster drill will for sure save lives if anything were to happen but there must be a better way of doing it ?..instead of family's being treated like cattle it was a mess and nearly one hour is a long time to stand for people with children and the elderly .

To make the king bed, all they do is put the 2 smaller beds together. If it happens again, just tell the room steward and he can put them together for you.

muster drill always sucks but could possibly save your life if needed.

So glad you had a positive experience I totally agree with you muster is a mess and totally needs to be looked into nearly 1 hour is what we waited also and like castle on the deck being told to step back onto the poor people who were standing behind Not acceptable Carnival ..... we started out doing a 4 day cruise as we were not sure if it was for us and have been cruising ever since just had our 16 th cruise on all different carnival ships. As we like the casual style of carnival we travel from Australia to cruise Caribbean Barbados or Alaska and have had some wonderful experiences. We have cruises booked this year and next and look forward to them so with the wait and the travel to get there so for your Daughter to have the experience it's something she will remember for the rest of her life but when she makes her own way in life you and your hubby can start having the wonderful times that my we have and continue to have ..... so happy cruising ðð·
