Review summary

For whatever reason I couldn't comment about our cabin so I'll do it here. Our cabin was very small for 3 people but we made it work. What didn't work were the fridge and the TV and our shower drain was clogged. We called about the fridge and they said they needed a part to fix it. And the drain never was fixed. We didn't notice the TV until halfway through the cruise so we didn't report it. The weather and our dining room staff (Bob, Jason and Lee) are what made the cruise nice for us!

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The value of the food in the main dining rooms has slipped. I also don't like how there is a charge now for lobster and filet when not offered on the formal nights.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The Carnival dancers and singers were really good and the comedians were funny.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I never met our room steward the whole time we were there. Our main dining room wait staff were amazing! Bob, Jason and Lee in the Southern Lights dining room made our cruise eventful! Loved them! If it weren't for them, I would have given a 2-3 for this category.

Ship tip

Do not get the internet package...Any of them! On our cruise they didn't show the World Cup Final, so we were going to live stream it on our phones but could never get through so we were refunded.

I don't even watch their TV. I take my IPAD with any downloaded TV shows and movies that we want to see. If you download them, you don't need wifi.

Please contact guest services about your experience on the ship especially since she went to customer service and things weren’t correct it to your satisfaction

Glad you were still able to enjoy your cruise. What cabin were you in?

When was lobster ever free on a non formal night?

What cabin so we can ensure that others are prepared. I am happy that you were able to still salvage your cruise with the great weather and dining staff
