Review summary

On our last cruise we loved the talent, the food, the staff in general and all the activities.

What we DIDN'T like was the lazy cabin steward who neglected to fix any part of the beds that was not visible (bottom and inner sheets.) He only fixed the top, visible portion for the entire cruise!

PLUS I had a yellow-stained bottom sheet and he NEVER changed it, despite the cash tip I left directly on the spot!

Rather unusual for Carnival, he came into our room twice a day. Most stewards come in a few time throughout the day, but not this one.

We fixed our own beds and I had to live with stained sheets. I usually tip very generously in cash, along with the on-board tip fee. Needless to say, he got marry another penny after the first one.

We love Carnival and choose that line first.

Colin, the Bulgarians, and the Ukrainian fiddlers were awesome! The talent, as usual, helped to make the entire trip.

I have no idea BUT they were out of the way in general, so they did a good job.

We always travel inside and low in the ship so it is stable. Rooms are always nice and functional. You spend so little time in your room, basically to sleep.
