Carnival is definitley the most affordable cruise. I take the winners from my team on a cruise each year so we will be back again next year for our third annual cruise.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
My drinks didn't seem to be worth the price we pay for each one. The food was good, the best I would expect on a cruise.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I had a massage and a facial, both were amazing. I wish they wouldn't push so hard all of the products they sell, I just wanted to relax but at the end of each was confronted with a heavy sales pitch. I'm in sales myself, and the crew aren't quite as nice after you decline to purchase the products.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Loved the band that played in the center of the ship, the newlywed show was hysterical, loved every minute of that. The 3:30 comedy was the best ever but I can't handle the late night one. Why does one have to say the F bomb every other word.....It totally takes the funny out of it and so I chose to get up and leave.
Children's Programs
there were only adults with our group.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our waiters and wait staff were all cordial and friendly and our room stewards took great care of our room but I actually dont think I ever saw or spoke to my room steward except the very first day
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
I was hoping by at least the last day I would be able to find my dinner place on my own, but I'm not complaining as I get lost easy, lol, the ship was clean and well maintained (however, when the Disney ship pulled up next to us, "gasp" but I'd rather pay Carnival prices and have less than to pay the price that Disney asks for their cruise. Carnival is affordable and I love that. Wish I could get Florida resident pricing ......
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
The bed was SO comfortable, in fact, how can I get the same pillows that you had in our room. Loved them. The room was also very clean. I didn't like the fact that we only had one outlet that we could use. The one in the bathroom was missing and they did end up replacing it towards the end of the trip. I won't ever stay in an interior room again, last cruise with you I had a window and it's so much better to at least see daylight.
Ship tip
bring an outlet strip and pack light as there is very little room to store and move about. I paid for and brought 18 women on this cruise and I wish I could have afforeded bigger rooms for all of us.
Drinks are to expensive, the crew behind the bar were not friendly and seemed agitated. I think it's ridiculous to have to pay to have an umbrella, you nickle and dime your guests to death. Many of us came home with sand fleas that we are still dealing with. Last year the port we went to had a great pool and that was so nice. I hated that there was only the beach with no other options.
Glad you had a great time. I agree with the comedy. I don't do the later ones. I live in Florida, there isn't really a Florida rate. We just don't have to travel so far to get to the port.
