Review summary

Will definitely cruise carnival again... Not sure my husband will because of his severe cigarette smoke allergy. He enjoyed everything except that!

The lines were long but went extremely fast!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I've always heard about cruise food. The main dining room was good, sometimes great, but I was looking for AMAZING and it lacked a little. Now the tea... AWEFUL!!! I could not wait to get home and get back to my sweet tea. This tea was unsweet and had a horrible aftertaste! Carnival, PLEASE fix that!!!! Guy's restaurant was great! The buffet was pretty good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was a lot for everyone to do all the time. The shows were great, the magician was WONDERFUL!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were extremely nice and made us feel pampered!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was a maze, but we got through it

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was good, but the couch and bunk bed were very uncomfortable for my children. They didn't sleep well.

Ship tip

Buy the hub app ($5 per person) so you can keep in touch, and stay away from the tea!

Just shopped. Waited to get food back on the ship as the restaurant prices were ridiculously high ($15 for a hamburger, $4 for a can coke)

Disembarkation

Getting off the ship was like herding cattle. They should call floor by floor to free up the crowds and elevators!

Yes they need to do something about the area by casino. It gets bad in that area.

Amazing, Relaxing, Caribbean Cruise
Never again
this was probably not my favorite of my 5 carnival cruises, the staff was not friendly, the food was the same on the past 4 cruises, the Magic was "ok" considering its age.
