Review summary

Love Carnival Cruise Lines! Consistent service and food. Wish there was a way to reserve deck chairs by the pool.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Excellent port procedures! Our first time as Platinum level members so we were in our stateroom about 30 minutes after parking our car.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

A little disappointed with main dining room experience. Did not see the maitre d once in 6 dinner visits. Yes, we were on the 2nd level but still, one appearance would have been nice.

Ship tip

Check with the towel center poolside before you depart. We were at the pool every day but only checked out (and returned) 2 towels. Somehow, our cabin showed checking out 12 towels and only returning 3. We would have been charged for taking 9 towels if our cabin steward had not reminded us to check with the towel station.
