Review summary

Carnival is obviously trying to cut costs by eliminating the high quality entertainment they have been known for. Dress code for formal dining is non-existent. People in shorts and t-shirts should go to the buffet. We will be trying a different cruise line for our next cruise.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation from Canaveral was good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Formal dining was good. Service was good. Buffet food was mediocre at best. Pizza was good.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Pools were jam packed.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Worst entertainment I've ever seen on a cruise. I've been on 6 cruises. Solo guitar player was awful. Violin trio was terrible. Stage shows were pathetic. Comedians were fair. You need to return to the full stage production shows.

Children's Programs

Did not have kids

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Waiters in the Silver dining room were great. Room steward was good. In general the service was good.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship was mostly acceptable as far as cleanliness. Women's bathroom outside the Silver dining room on the 3rd floor was closed the whole cruise. Unacceptable with all the maintenance staff on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was good

Ship tip

Don't expect to get in the pools or hot tubs unless you want to be elbow to elbow.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5
No excursions. In and out of the port was easy.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
No excursions. Shopping was ok. Shops were all the same.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Once again, shops were all the same. Glass bottom boat excursion was fun.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Quick and smooth

Hey I am on vacation. Why should I have to eat at the buffet. I paid just as much as you did and really my attire has nothing to do with your meal

Dress codes are going down hill across all cruise lines we use.
