Review summary

Had low expectations for Carnival, but was surprised by quality food. Ship was dirty and old. Entertainment was well below average. Cookie was the best cruise director ever.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Way too easy. Needed to be a little more difficult. Weird comment, but seemed not to care much.

Food and Dining

Main dining was average to above average, but the Hamburger place, the Blue Iguana place and the Pizza place were all three amazing. Best of any cruises I’ve been on and all on one ship.
