Overall very disappointed. I am pregnant and had barely anything to do that didn’t involve drinking, gambling, or spending money in some way. Will not be choosing carnival again or recommending it to anyone.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Had trouble figuring out which port to go to, wait time to find out on the phone was 15 minutes, signage at port was not very good.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Wasn’t informed of the formal day so had to miss dinner that day. Then we had to miss dinner another day when we weren’t back from an excursion in time for our dinner slot. Foods were medeocre. But we LOVED our waitor Ned in destiny restaurant. He was knowledgeable, kind, and GREAT at his job.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
It cost us a fortune just to not be board on the ship.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
There were way too many jewelry events and not enough fun things to do.
Service and Staff
2 out of 5
Only two people we met spoke perfect English. We had a horrible time trying to understand everyone else on the ship.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
Very clean but had to walk a TON to get where we wanted to be. Elevators took too long so we had to use the stairs many times.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Cleaning crew (prawech) was FANTASTIC. Remembered our names and cleaned our room very well. Size was tiny.
Loved this port but the first two excursions we chose were cancelled due to lack of people signing up. But we saw other excursions (xplor) with only two people!!! We weren’t told til 1 hour before our excursion that it was cancelled so we were scrambling to pick another. Very disappointed with this whole mess but loved the port. We were even misdirected by boat staff when we got to port that we almost missed our ferry!! And we weren’t the only ones. There were about 20-25 of us who were led the wrong way and almost missed our ferry.
We were told we coudnt wait near the doors after we were told to eat there by someone else and then we came back later and a line had already formed ahead of us. The communication was horrible and none of the staff were on the same page.
I can definitely see how a lot of walking while pregnant would be overwhelming. Cruising may be worth trying again with a line that caters to your fun. :)
You apparently didn't do any homework work before your cruise. We all research the ships, the ports of call and all the excursions you can take in each port way before the cruise. You didn't have a good time because you didn't bother to learn about your cruise ahead of time. We all go with the flow and dont let every little thing bother us.
