Review summary

We have been on a few cruises on Carnival and this was the worst. Yes the boat was small but we have been on small boats before the service was not good the crew was young and not friendly. when you walk the hall they did not speak some went out of their way to turn their heads. The food was just ok nothing was top notched. Some nights it was a long wait to get in the dining room and i felt because we did not have a designated time the wait staff rushed us. The best thing was the comedy shows they were amazing.

No sushi. They have Mongolian wok which was awesome. Several different food lines. Never waited long except the last night YTD we ended up skipping after waiting 40 mins

I dislike waiting on long dinner lines. This is not what I expect on a cruise. I like to dine early to avoid that, if I can. It doesn't always work. I hope that your next cruise goes smoother for you.

I'm going on Dec 12th. The sushi bar isn't listed as one of the dining options but on the old Destiny they did serve sushi at a little cart. Can someone tell me if it is available on this ship? Also, I didn't like the long lines a the buffet instead of separate stations of food, any improvement on that??

Everyone has an opinion, we were on this cruise and thought the crew was great! Had late seating dinner, very relaxed and Oscar and his team were superb! Comedy was excellent. Casino was awesome. Wish we had more sun, but can't fault anybody for that.
