Please don’t waste your money on this ship. Honestly royal Caribbean is so much better. We will never do carnival again after this cruise, feel like I wasted $1,400. My husband said 3 out of 10, but that would be generous in my opinion.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
1 out of 5
Small portions, 3 restaurants charge even 2 on pool deck, drink package limits u to 15/day, can’t use drink card on the private carnival island like u can on royal caribbean. Buffets close pretty early now. Cutbacks were blatantly obvious. I’m done with carnival after this one.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Pools were so packed couldn’t move. Not enough activities for day at sea. Movies shown were old old old
Entertainment
1 out of 5
Worst singers and dancers I’ve ever seen on a ship. Went to first night show and skipped the rest and opted for comedians instead who were decent. The singing was like nails on a chalkboard and show was cheesy as hell, looked like a high school production lol.
Service and Staff
2 out of 5
Wait staff spread thin. Room guy was good but he had so many cabins he couldn’t finish all in am

Ship tip
Pick a royal Caribbean cruise instead. Carnival trying to cut back too much to make up for all the non cruising during covid. Never again
Wish I could give 1/2 star. Can’t use drink package even tho It’s their island. 2 drinks were $28 ! Paid for clamshell for shade but ended up leaving it cause NO air gets to u so save your money and find a chair under the many palms. Flies were insane on the island.
Can’t wait I always go in November or December !! I live in Fl and summer is just miserable less kids in winter I love the cheesy shows they always make us laugh I guess it’s all what you make of it
Have you also sailed on RC again since the cruise restart? If not I wouldn’t discount Carnival completely because of 1 cruise. Judging by the reviews on here none of the cruise lines are back to the standards of pre-covid so you may be disappointed whoever you go with.
I’m sorry your cruise wasn’t good for you. I hope your next cruise meets all of your expectations and you have a great time. We have only cruised 8 times, 3 Royal Caribbean and 5 Carnival, but we have enjoyed all of them to the fullest.
I realize that cruising may not be what it was before Covid but our first post Covid cruise in May on the Carnival Magic was awesome.😀
Thank you for taking the time to share your review.
