Review summary

Best part was cruise director's enthusiasm, & the last stage show.

Did not enjoy all dances at activities were line or steps to be learnt dances.

Sea was rough first 2 days, loud banging at the cabin on 2nd. floor.

Tandoor rest. was excellent, needs to be advertised as Indian Cuisine as several people not aware it was available.

All the staff were great.

Onboard credit should be able to be used for anything onboard & not only the Bar as people who do not drink, waste the amount given.

Schwartz was a good cruise director, don't get me wrong...but Dr. E is the best. He is very funny and engaging with all of the cruisers. We sailed with Dr. E in December and with Schwartz this passed week. I agree that onboard credit should be used for anything on the ship. My wife and I don't drink or really gamble, so using the credit for pictures would have been great for us. Maybe they will change it if enough people complain about it. Happy Cruising!

We were on the second floor as well. It was a little hard the sleep the first couple of nights, like mentioned above...the waves crashing into the ship was really loud at times. It felt as if the ship was running into something.

There is Bar credit, photo credit and straight up on board credit that can be used for anything.

I used our onboard credit for photos. I've never heard that it could only be used for drinks.

Onboard credit can be used for anything. Unless you had a carnival card (debit) that was only for bar.

Fun

Great Time but limited activities

Great ship, great waiters, but cost-cutting shows too much!
