Review summary

This was a family reunion cruise that was enjoyable in many ways, but could have been better. First, the food on this cruise was absolutely the worse compared to the previously six cruises I've taken. Of the few choices that were available, the food was either over-cooked or tasteless. Second, I think the gratuities were excessive and often double charged.

On a positive note, there were many good activities and entertainment choices to participate in daily. And the staff was extremely friendly & genuinely concerned about your enjoyment.

Actually just got off the Oct 6th....and must say I felt things had improved greatly over the past two years! We enjoyed each meal in the dining room which isn't always the case for me on Carnival...loved Calvin the CD and his crew! The ship looked nice ...our steward was top notch...and entertainment plentiful! Overall great cruise! Agree that the entire staff was super friendly and seemed happy!

Gratuities are on par as other cruise lines. You could have removed if service was not good.
