Review summary

The cruise was really ok.  Not bad, not great.  Was disappointed that one of our ports were changed from Isla Roatan to Key West due to a medical emergency onboard.  Otherwise, everything is as expected.  Did have a little more fun in Carnival Dream two years ago.  Not sure if it was due to the cruise director or not, but was more engaged in the activities offered before.  The food quality in the buffet and main dining hall was so so.  The food in cucina del capitano was ok.  The food in prime steakhouse was excellent.  The best food onboard is probably Guy's Burger Joint.  Great burgers and they need to make this 24/7 instead of the pizza place.  Need to add more compelling shows.  Out of the 7 night cruise there is really only one good show to watch.  The others were not really entertaining.  The comedy shows in punchliner is probably the best shows onboard.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The 24 hours pizza was horrible. Long wait and burnt pizza with very little sauce. Need to make the Guy's burger joint 24 hours instead of this pizza place. Your time dining can be a mess especially during elegant night. Long waits and not so great service since the servers are harassed at this point.

I completely agree with the last post. It's okay for a person to be disappointed. It takes all types of people to review. Because of this review other cruisers may expect changes and if there are, may not be as disappointed. I was on that cruise and I was not disappointed at all. I'm glad they were able to help the man. I had some "issues" on the Magic. But all in all I had a ball!

Are they not entitled to give THEIR review? I don't get why people like you insult people who are just giving their honest review.

If you just went, you switched ports/route because some guest Had a heart attack... Enjoy what you did and be glad it wasn't you or someone in your party!
