Review summary

The cruise overall was great. The weather was cool and rainy for a lot of it, and the water was VERY choppy for most of it, but a cruise is a cruise. The water was really rough but it wasn't as big of an issue as the cooler weather. The actual part that Carnival could control was great. We plan to do this cruise again at a different time of the year to have better weather.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easiest embarkation we have ever had. Total time was only about 30 min

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
So the good was great. Ran out of cilantro, and bananas by the end

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Carnival had no control over the weather, but due to cool weather and wind water slides and park were not running. Outdoor pools were cold

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All shows but two were great. One bad comedian and one evening sure that was boring

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
They are always friendly

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great. It's an older ship so there is some age things

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

4 out of 5

Honolulu, Oahu

3 out of 5
Don't like Honolulu. It was our most disappointing port. Didn't get to do some of the activities we had hoped due to traffic

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5
Road to Hana was great. We missed some activities other passengers did because we didn't know about then until later. If you go check out the western port area

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
Good beach area just a short walk from the ship

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5
We did a Carnival excursion that was really good to the volcanos national park

Ensenada, Mexico

1 out of 5
DID NOT like this port. May be personal choice. Was kinda cold, and town seemed dirty and very aggressive

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super simple
