Review summary

Overall a decent cruise but like I mentioned I was bored with "activities" offered. This takes a lot for me to admit I was bored because I get really mad at my kids if they tell me they are bored on a cruise, lol. But the entertainment was boring, cruise director was boring. we made the best of it, as I do with everything. But this was a very different feeling then what we got on Panorama in January.

Typical Carnival F&B. Steakhouse was good.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
I was really bored with onboard activities. Lido deck was so dull even when DJ was there. Had to ask him to play some songs that would get people dancing. I have kids I don't need it wild but it being spring break I was expecting a little more. And not even "more" just what I am used to from all my other cruises.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
I'm just rating for DJ, as I didn't attend any shows. They played 80's and yacht rock the whole time. Which is music I enjoy, at home, not when I'm on a boat that is supposed to be fun for kids and adults.

Children's Programs

They didn't want to attend.

Ericcson, our room steward was amazing. Bartenders were all great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean, older ship and it shows. I liked the layout overall, I prefer the new ships but this one is a little nostalgic to the old carnival ships we all started on.
