Review summary

At the end of the cruise I look back and wonder if I am just being a critical old man. We did have a good time. Again the cruise director George was great. The food was not. The seafood bar was one place we enjoyed. I see how carnival needs to keep costs down. For the last two year these ships still needed to be cared for, even though they had no passengers. My Carnival stock is still down. I’ll be back on this ship in July. Look for my review of that cruise. That will be cruise #35

Embarkation

Arrived on time. Stood in the hot sun for over an hour

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

I think the cook took the 2 weeks off. Some of the food should not leave the kitchen. Veal was old milk cow. Who ever heard of tough dry veal? I thought I had COVID as nothing had flavor. Escargot was fewer and smaller. I guess that is how they save money. Sushi was nothing how it has been in the past. Even after using the app to sign for dinner even when the app said your table was ready there was still a wait line. Never before with any cruise line.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Although nothing special. The line made an effort to keep us entertained. The cruise director George was great.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows were good. The comedians were very good although one evening comedian Manny was just vulgar not funny.

Children's Programs

Only had 6-8 on board and we saw very few of them.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

The staff was trying very hard to accommodate everyone but under staffed. Staff would get 5 star the cruise line gets 1 star.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Layout and design of the ship was good but there was not enough staff to keep the dirty dishes off the tables

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was a good size. We could walk around the bed and both get ready for formal night at the same time

Ship tip

You learn quick. Food at one end, entertainment at the other.

Disembarkation

After 25 Cruises if there is one thing that I have learned, some cruises are better than others. But every day that you spend at sea Is better than any day you spend on land! Just keep cruising!

Pretty bad

Chilly at times and a bit windy at sea. Hawaii a pleasant 80 degrees.
