Review summary

The cruise was ok! Nothing special. It was convenience that led me to book a Norfolk cruise as I live in Newport News Virginia.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The service was good; however there were no tablecloths on the tables for any of the meals(yes it's a minor thing but those extra things make a cruise special!) Also I had requested a table of eight and often found myself eating alone! Also you could never eat in the main dining hall for lunch, one had to always eat in the buffet area.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Beer pong on a cruise ship! How ridiculous ! I know Carnival is aiming for a younger crowd; but seriously do you have to lower your entertainment standards!

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Disco was crowded with music I didn't care for, and the shows were fine except for the"canned music."
