Review summary

I think my expectations were set to high , the food was average .. I was expecting fancier and not the same stuff on buffet everyday. The main dining room food was not to great half time was dry especially the sword  fish. The entertainment was awesome and our cruised director Schwartz was amazing and fun. The casino was awesome and I always won something every visit. 

Speciality restaurants and paying extra was totally not worth it especially the steak house. I had send my steak back it was fatty, the steak in dinning room was way better.

We had a nice room with a balcony, I was surprised on how much room we had and the room service was fantastic and fast. Our steward was very nice and was there when we needed him . 

One word of advice is don't go buying any watches at there great sale. I bought one for 169$ regular 595$ I came home and googled it and could of got for 98-111$ on line. So google them if you can before you buy. I'm really upset about that..over all I had a fun time with my friends and husband,the islands were great and everything ran smoothly.. I definitely will do this again ..

Ship tip

We ordered room service for excursion days was so much easier then trying to hit buffet.i packed to much so keep it on lighter side and at least 3 bathing suits.:: bring comfortable shoes because u will need them and plenty of sunscreen. Also try to plan your day out because there are so many things

what are you talking about, the hot food menu in the buffet changes every day. The deserts also change. I agree the salad bar is the same every day.

Call Carnival customer service. They usually have a low price guarantee and may give you a credit back if it's the EXACT same watch. Plus did you factor shipping costs?
