Review summary

I would recommend NOT cruising with Carnival. It is not worth any upfront savings. Everything cost extra on the boat and that was not clear. It was outdated, dirty and in disrepair. The entertainment was terrible and overall, it was a good thing we were able to laugh about it.

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Cafeteria food overall. The same food served in the dining room as in buffet. There was nothing special and by the last day at sea they were running out of things.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The entertainment was terrible. It was a combination of acts you would see at the fair and rigged bingo activities.

Entertainment

Nassau, Bahamas

Didn’t book excursion with boat but grabbed one on shore. It was beautiful. The boat should have given a map or hints to the island prior to port call.
