Review summary

Had fun despite horrendous food selections and subpar alcohol selections. Plus they constantly ran out of bottled water, coffee syrups, coffee creamer…pretty ridiculous

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Love carnival but this ship and cost cutting was ridiculous. Poor alcohol selection (bourbon and scotch) and they ran out of bottled water throughout cruise. Food quality was terrible. Buffet had dry chicken and rice. First time on a smaller ship…firm no

80s show was terrible. All they did was sit on chairs. Rock show they at least tried to dance….emphasis on tried

Staff was great

Ship Quality

Clean but dated and not maintained. My room bathroom smelled like mildew and the balcony suite was rusted. I was afraid the balcony ceiling would collapse as it was hanging low

Cabin / Stateroom

Grand suite U74. Very spacious but the bathroom smelled like mold:mildew. Balcony spacious but very rusted.
