Review summary

Overall, we had a wonderful trip. Cloudy and windy as we travelled across the Pacific, so that restricted our "sun" time, and actually prohibited us from being on the upper deck for nearly the entire return trip. As we toured the islands, weather again forced us to  miss to of our scheduled ports, which was very disappointing for everyone in our party. The ship was adequate, and the staff aboard the ship did a great job of taking care of our needs. The entertainment was not as good as we remember from prior cruises.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Compared to other cruises we have been on, the entertainment in the main theater seemed much more "amateur" than we had remembered. They worked hard, but it was just not up to the same level. The comedians were pretty good, but also not quite up to the same caliber as our previous Carnival cruises.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We were blessed to have Opec, Ery, and Jeena as our evening dining room crew. They were amazing, caring and so much fun! At breakfast and lunch we again had great service from Lady and Kirk who were also very, very kind, attentive and friendly. Our room steward Emmanuel took such good care of our room and anything we needed. Thanks to each of these wonderful hard working staff members!!

Our cabin was as expected from our prior cruise experience. We had no issues with the cabin, and our steward kept it in top shape throughout the cruise.

We really did not spend much time in the town. It was so difficult to walk down the street without being harassed to buy something from street vendors...or kids!
