Review summary

I went on a carnival cruise maybe 25 years ago, and since then have taken approx 22 cruises between Celebrity, Princess and Royal Caribbean. I have many friends that go on Carnival and like it and had a group invite me to join them so I decided to give them another try. Wish I had not. I anted to be back home day 3, absolutely nothing to do on the ship. Where were the entertainment staff? Why no show? Cut backs? Why go on a cruise to do nothing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
No tablecloths in dining room, short staffed so long waits, make you share butter with the person next to you. Not enough bartenders, long lines there too.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
No shows in theater, NONE! They have a comedy club where you could see a comedian or you could got to theater to see a comedian or magician, both of which were lame, no activities people or shows.

Entertainment
