Over. Crowded spa, limited activities

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Honestly, high school musical (not the movie version) poorly executed, off tune and off timing

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
Over 1100 kids onboard,it was clearly noticeable that they were bored by the lack of entertainment. pressing all the elevator buttons was the entertainment for the kids

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Dining room staff was more miss than hit, seemed that this crew did not work well together

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Not bad, not great, the third floor bathrooms by then northern lights restaurant reeked of raw sewage

Other than finding another guest in my cabin, the cabin was the highlight of the trip

Thanks for sharing your experience. We sail in January and hopefully all the children will be back in school and not on some sort of break. You are right Carnival can do better. We have had a few disappointing experiences on Carnival, but the new adventure went as expected. Hope your next sailing is wonderful!
