Review summary

It was a great getaway. Loved the places we went to and enjoyed just being away. But I am a travel agent and will never put my clients on this ship. Layout was horrible and food was the worst.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very fast and smooth. Loved that they called by number and checked to make sure no one was cutting the line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Food has really gone down hill. Cruised before Covid and it wasn’t that great and now it’s even worse. If it wasn’t for Guy’s burgers and his Pig and Anchor we would have been in trouble. This is the first cruise I actually lost weight!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lots of things to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

This was the best entertainment team we have seen on carnival. They were all so talented.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward was amazing. But no one smiled and said hi. Most were looking at the floor and rushing by. Never experienced this before

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Cleanliness was great. But ship layout was horrible. It was probably great before the upgrades. But once that happened all venues were so small. Just jammed in. Ex. Main walk way going through restaurants. Piano bar had to keep door closed or couldn’t hear because of the red frog pub. No where on the ship to sit and just hang out. We spent ALOT of time in our cabin. Nowhere to go unless part of an activity. This was a last minute cruise and I should have listened to all the reviews. They were right.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved our cabin.

Book another cruise ship.

We did the Home sweet home excursion and can’t say enough good things about it. What a great experience. We will most likely go back next time we visit this port.

Fastest we ever had. Really glad we have passports. The birth certificate line was long. They were going to be there awhile.

As a travel advisor I totally agree with your review! No places to sit and chill unless you’re outside. Worst set up ever! I am happy you enjoyed the cruise ports. Thanks for your review!
