Husband and I were travelling with another (first-time cruising) couple. We enjoyed the food, drinks, music, Playlist shows, and ports.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We had dinner each evening in the MDR and breakfast both at the buffet and in the Dining Room. Overall the food was very good. Desserts were excellent. The only complaint I have is the prime rib. I've eaten a lot of prime rib and Carnival's is not good. The "au jus" is more of a heavy gravy.
Piano Bar

Not entertaining...was mangling the songs with her own lyrics. Just play...and she COULD play.

Standout service from Luby (Alchemy Bar), Lasto (room steward), and Gibson (Pixels Gallery). Slightly disappointed in our dining room team this time.

Someone's always cleaning...
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Loved layout and double windows which also provided extra storage space. Didn't have a couch but didn't miss it after our room steward brought in a second chair for the table.
We walked down to Jack's Shack for jerk chicken and was not disappointed! Yummo, but note...watch out for bones! Also, the Sandy Vagina (drink) was excellent.
If you notice the chefs on the ship , when you mentioned prime rib , they are kids !! Most know how to cook a hot dog ! And that is it . Not prime rib .
I am glad you enjoyed your cruise! I hope your friends and 1st time cruisers enjoyed it as well. It is so refreshing to hear you saying basically to roll with the punches. Spoken like a true Michigander!! Vacations are too short to let someone that you donβt even know put a damper on it!!
