Review summary

Cruising with friends always makes for a more enjoyable trip. This was my first Carnival cruise while the wife has cruised with them before and our friends are LOYAL Diamond members. An enjoyable time at sea and we were well cared for and fed.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Although signage was not easy to find when first arriving, plenty of helpful folks to get us going.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We enjoyed plenty of variety and the meals were made more enjoyable by the wait staff, especially at dinner. Soft-serve ice cream at the ready was a big TREAT and I do miss it. Steak house meal was very nice.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Not a lot of out door activities during the cooler parts of the cruise. But, took advantage of the miniature golf; but the best part was the variety of Trivia games throughout. Oti made the games enjoyable and interactions with the guest was fantastic.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were good. The comedy not so much. Maybe it is my sense of humor as many guest seemed to enjoy those acts.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Very friendly and helpful staff. Our cabin steward, Kamar was top notch. Friendly, greeted us by name, and ensured we were well cared for.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship is older and showing some age in the art/decor; but was very easy to navigate through and get around. Much easier than a previous cruise on another cruise line.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Met our needs and was kept fresh and clean by Kumar our steward. Do recommend adding more plug outlets or at least USB plugs near the bed.

Ports of call

Juneau, Alaska

4 out of 5
Met up with friends so didn't do any sight seeing other with them. Nice city and options a plenty.

Haines, Alaska

3 out of 5
Not sure why we went here. SMALL town, not a lot to do or see. A relaxing day if nothing else, and it was SUNNY and nice unlike other port days.

Cruise Tracy Arm Fjord, Alaska

4 out of 5
Due to ice we were not able to get deeper into the Fjord. Great scenery and a nice relaxing day.

Ketchikan, Alaska

4 out of 5
Had been here before and did most of the excursions on land, picked a boat/brunch excursion. Nice friendly crew but as nature is apt to do; not a lot of wildlife seen. Tender operation at the port made getting off/on a bit of a pain.

Prince Rupert, British Columbia

3 out of 5
Small port with minimal things to do. More time for Trivia on board.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy debarkation and process getting bags and on the bus to the airport.
