Review summary

Cruise was great! We were worried about the multiple days at sea, but it wasn't bad going, tough coming back. WIFI should be free, cost of over $200 is ridiculous. Same drink at different bars could be almost twice the cost, always varied in price. Ports should allow for Uber pickup. Ship decor is outdated, we want to plan for an Alaska cruise next, but won't use this cruise line because its the same ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy! Would only be better if we had immediate access to our room.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We did not dine at any of the specialty restaurants. We enjoyed dinner each night, and some mornings, in the Bacchus Dining Room. Service is top notch, but the decor is outdated.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We went to the gym each day. I wish there had been space to put down a mat and workout on the floor. We also participated in trivia. The trivia questions are outdated.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Fantastic! Brennan was my favorite.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our wait staff in the dining room was fantastic, particularly Ade Luki and his team (Raiver). Ade deserves a raise and promotion :) The lady who kept our cabin clean, Rachel, was awesome and professional.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The cleanliness was very good, team members were always cleaning the common areas. The ships layout is very good, but the design is very outdated.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabins are small and outdated, but clean.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Easy and fast. We had an issue when staging in the Bacchus dining room. Folks stopped in the from blocking aisles while standing/sitting and with their bags. It was difficult to get past them with our bags to get further back. First in should walk to the back, not block the front.

I like you detailed review. Carnival has more than one ship that cruises to Alaska. Stay safe and have fun.

Thanks for the review. From my point of view, they can charge whatever they want. I go on a cruise to get away from the internet and fons. The people I leave in charge get paid very well to not bother me. LOL.
