Review summary

Never again with carnival cruise line. It was the worst vacation/ cruise I have ever been on.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Super long lines to park and to board

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Our waiters and waitress in the main dining room were the only good part of the cruise ship

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
If there were things going on, most cost money to do. Not much going on

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Only two stage shows in 7 nights, 4 nights of comedy shows. Violin players were good, DJ was good but there was too much down time

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Our waiters and waitress were the best in the main dining area, room Stewart never came and talked with us, we had to find him in the hallway. After about the 4th day on the ship he would speak to us.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
There was dishes on the stairs. Food on the floor outside the elevator. I actually fell on the 5th floor getting out of the elevator because of a spill.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
The air conditioner did not work. We asked for a fan and was told to call housekeeping. You could not get through. Finally one of the Stewart’s down the hall got us a fan. Refrigerator was not cold at all and you could not turn it up

Disembarkation

Made us wait in the theater, what a mess, nobody there to enforce how people let there. One lady threatened my little niece and she was not suppose to be in line. The released by roll but people just pushed their way off
