Review summary

Worst cruise I have ever taken! Extremely disappointed! I paid for the most expensive WiFi for two people and it was extremely slow and kept kicking us off. I went to guest services and they dismissed me and told me there was nothing they could do. No personal service in dining room and they rushed you through dinner. Food was extremely poor in dining room and buffet. Service all over the ship was extremely poor. I was absolutely shocked! This cruise has made me rethink Carnival!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Quick since I paid for faster to the fun and I was there at 11:30.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
I was shocked at how poor the food was on this ship at the buffet and main dining room. I was also shocked at the poor service in the main dining room. No personal service on this ship whatsoever which is extremely unusual!

Silver Olympian Restaurant

1 out of 5

I had the early dining time and my server never once tried to get to know our names. Never tried to be personal or make us feel welcome. He made it seem as though we were rush d every evening and didn’t care if we were there. The food was also poor every evening. I was horribly disappointed and I have been on many cruises and I take two cruises every year.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I didn’t go to shows this cruise. We enjoyed other activities for a change.

Service on this ship across the board was extremely poor! Again I was shocked!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
All Carnival ships have similar layout which is nice because you always know where everything is.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was great! Plenty of room, plenty of storage, nice bathroom.

Ship tip

Bring a plug for cabin that has several plugs in it for charging more than one phone but have a plug that has the ability to rotate the part that plugs into the outlet. Definitely a must since there is only one outlet in the cabin if you have more than one phone or go pro to charge, etc.

Ports of call

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
We just did some shopping at the port, grabbed a drink and then spent the rest of the day on the ship. An enjoyable day!

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Enjoyable day at Atlantis and also shopping near the port!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Easy since we had paid for quicker to the fun.

Which dining room did you have

When you have to keep in touch with a sick family member, you need WiFi. So when it doesn’t work, there’s no excuse! Our whole table complained about the service.

The point of a cruise is to not go on WiFi and enjoy the cruise. The service, well, I’ve had all good experiences but 1 with Carnival that was when the air conditioning in our room didn’t work
