Carnival is great! Clean ship, lots of things to do, and everyone on staff, even the cruise director Adam, was so nice and helpful. You can tell when people really enjoy their job (or Atleast can fake it!) will definitely be going on another cruise now soon! It was a perfect honeymoon for my husband and I especially since I’ve never cruised before and he’s only been on one when he was a kid. Amazing!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very smooth! We went right to the room after muster because we were tired but omg it was so fast. We didn’t even notice us leaving port! Very smooth process once you actually get in after finding parking haha. The cruise staff obviously know what they’re doing.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The silver Olympian was my favorite despite only going once! I thought it was one of the specialty restaurants you paid for, but it’s included aside from gratituity. Well worth it though because the service was amazing. Food was delicious, especially the potatoes au gratin that came with my short ribs. Plus a magician came to our table and did quarter tricks and stuff while we ate. Really fun. The main dining room wasn’t bad either, but the best meal to get there is the breakfast. Oh and the pizza at pizza pirate I could eat all day! Guys burgers is a good choice too. And if you can catch blue iguana for lunch the tacos are really yummy! Sorry this is so long but I’m big on food!
Onboard Activities

I won’t rate these because we did not use them! The pools were alittle busy for our tastes. But they looked nice and clean!
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Ken Boyd was one of the ships comedians for our cruise and he was so funny!! I laughed so hard my face hurt. Definitely visit the punchlines! Manu the host is incredible and funny. The playlist performers were really good too! The rock show had amazing guitarists. The initial show they did was incredible with the dancing. So moving.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Very sweet staff. Always trying to be helpful whether directing you, changing the times they come to clean your room depending on YOUR time (so kind) and they made us little bunnies and elephants with towels on our bed. The waiters and staff at the silver Olympian were especially great! Very helpful.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was very clean! I was pleasantly surprised because lots of people can leave a mess quickly but the staff was super fast in cleaning up messes.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
I was worried about an interior cabin as I originally wanted a ocean view or balcony but realizing I wouldn’t spend much time in our room I decided to get interior. If you’re unsure, do it! The room is surprisingly spacious for a married couple. Very clean.
Ship tip
Definitely bring your own sodas! My fiancé and I each brought the alotted 12pk you per person and saved so much by not having to buy as many drinks (only water, lemonade and tea/juice is included.)
The beaches were GORGEOUS! Definitely get the twister drink if you stop here, they have a reusable souvenir carnival swirl cup and the drink was great. Lunch is included!
