Review summary

We went for a birthday getaway for my hubby and we haven’t gone for over 5 years. The service has greatly improved and there are so many activities and entertainment on the ship. The Carnival hub app is a great tool to navigate through the different happenings on the ship. We had such a great time and already planning for an Alaskan cruise next year. Thanks Carnival!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation went really quick. It was organized and we did not have to wait long to be queued.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We loved going to the main dining room for dinner. We went for anytime dining and the check in thru the Carnival Hub app was a breeze. Food was savory and we liked that there are so many options to choose from.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the mini golf course and loved that theres is a track if you want to do some walking and burn some calories after hitting the buffet.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We especially enjoyed Manny Maldonado’s comedy at the Mad Hatter’s. Karaoke was fun!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our server in the main dining room was Made, friendly and he provided excellent service. Seychelle from the steak house was very hospitable and provided excellent service. We went twice because we enjoyed our dinner on our first night on the cruise. Philip our steward on 8th was accommodating and very friendly, attended to our needs making sure our stay was above satisfactory. Roland from security and Daniel one of the cleaning crew at night were also very accommodating and entertained us with cruise life.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Always clean and pool decks are consistently monitored for safety.

Cabin / Stateroom

We did an excursion and had a day pass at Casa Dorada. Lunch was provided and we were able to use their pools and their beach. I would highly recommend it.

Just goes to show, some folks like, some folks do not. Just like the old saying, opinions are like a…s, everyone has one. Glad they had fun.
