Review summary

Wouldn't do this ship again.! Especially for 1st TIMERS! That want exciting events/activities NOT many interesting things to do just LOTS OF EATING and DRINKING (if u bye the Cheer! Package)

Embarkation

1 out of 5
The most amazing thing I've done! Totally LOVED IT!, RECOMMEND IT! and would go back to Cabo just to SUPERMAN ZIPLINE! The BLACK CREW (Niko😚) are awesome patient and super funny. Plus the food and drinks at the end was may cherry on top! ONLY complaint are the prices for pics n videos.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The dinner chief in the main dining room needs to be fired! I tried the lobster and thought it's was a larger shrimp at first lol and it tasted even worse than it looked! I tried to like it but HAD to send it back and didn't want it or anything else. 4of5 nights to the dinning room and tried something different each time and the food was just terrible. The one night I did go to the buffet it was GOOD. There was LOTS of food but nothing tasted amazing. It was like something I purchase at Costco, microwave it add my own toppings and sever it at dinner on my night to cook.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
There were LOTS of "strange" activities like... How to get rid of puffy eyes, and how to have better posture. I did participate in one singing game show and had a blast. I just would have liked to have more funny comedy show because I think there was 1 that was worth going out of the 4/5. MORE ACTIVE THAT DONT REQUIRE MORE MONEY like the casino and free charm when you spend $$at a shop.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Dull for the few that sounded interesting enough to go.

Children's Programs

No children... TO MANY KIDS even in the Serenity 21& up area... (WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT...)

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
If you can find one they don't know know anything anyway. I really don't think they like their jobs. NOT to mention how they will enter your room with or without your permission. REGARDLESS THEY WILL OPEN YOUR DOOR WHEN EVER THEY WANT TO. I found out the hard way...and they justified there actions. Which really pissed me off because if they can enter my cabin I'm calling home for 6 days I feel that should have been posted I'm my room or part of my check in paperwork that I had to complete before boarding. And if was NOT because I read EVEVYTHING especially if I sign in. THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. It also happened to my sister but she was fully dressed laying down unlike me in panties and bra napping!

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
A little old and dated. And those pods with those pillows were so NASTY I put towels/sheet over mind JUST BUY NEW ONE or washable one but that rubber covers being wiped down by the crew workers who don't like their jobs is UNACCEPTABLE

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The bed was to soft for me but the view from our balcony was always great and picture worthy. The location was PERFECT steps for the elevator; which was almost always never the activities/events/dinning room and one floor below the Lido deck and we DIDN'T need to use an elevator because the stairs were basically right there and faster. So no matter how drunk were or weren't we didn't get lost trying to get to the room. I want that location EVERYTHING I cruise from here on out.

Ship tip

Not to sail on that ship for more than 3-4 days because you might get bored and they only have 2 movie channels that loops the same movie every few hours. 6 days was my longest and I choose the wrong ship for great shows and activities. First time cruisers I would suggest a different Carnival cruise line!

Ports of call

San Diego, California

4 out of 5
I love San Diego! I live here so I take many excursions when ever we have the time because the weather is ALWAYS GREAT even when it's not😁

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

3 out of 5
The port is similar to Tijuana but better I guess. I didn't expect much but I Loved my SUPERMAN ZIPLINE excursion! Would highly recommend it to ALL ages and most of "US" with physical limitations. Check that one off my bucket list but i might go again, REALLY

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Smoother than my last cruise. Not sure if it was because of the two disembark locations or smaller ship which means fewer people. Or maybe it's both so my disembarking was smooth

Been on the same cruise 2 times totally love the ship and Mexican ports. I would do it again just missed guys burgers but I knew they did not have it when I booked my cruise. Research always helps to know what to expect.

Hilarious! You never checked anything about the ship before you booked?

Our first cruise was on the Miracle. We had a great time. We did a few shows , but then again we went with a fun group of friends , and had a blast just hanging out. The crew was amazing. Never had a problem with then just coming into our cabin.

Stateroom attendants usually knock and pause before entering. Yes they will be in cabin to make up bed in morning, to turn down at night and maybe other time for specific reason. If you don't want them in put the sign on door. Also, meet your attendant so they can serve your needs. They're very good about learning a new group of passengers each week. I had a stateroom attendant who anytime he saw me going to cabin, would open the door so I wouldn't have to get the key out.

Sounds like you should just go to resorts and stay in shore.

Sounds like cruising isn’t for you. Most people enjoy it, but it’s not for everyone. The best things to do on a cruise ship when not in port is to relax on a lounger and watch the ocean go by, read a good book, do a crossword puzzle, take a nap or do nothing at all. It seems many have forgotten, or maybe never learned, how to enjoy themselves without constant stimulation or entertainment.

Cruising doesnt sound like your cup of tea. I would stick to staycations.

Wow you really didn’t have anything good to say about your cruise. A cruise is what you make it in my opinion. They don’t always go the way we have thought they were going to go but that’s what makes them fun as you don’t know what might happen. We have done several and have always come home with good memories, laughs about different things that have happened and different people we have met and most of all the excitement as to where we are going next. Cruising isn’t for everyone but us that love to cruise enjoy our cruises.
