Review summary

I love cruising but this ship needs work. I understand it’s an older one but there’s definitely improvements that could be made. The glass elevators in the atrium didn’t work for the whole cruise. Waterworks was closed until the last day. This was some of the worst carnival food I’ve ever had on a cruise. The dishes were nasty and it just felt dirty

Food was ok, dishes were consistently dirty

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I love hanging out on the lido usually, but the volume of the microphone when they were doing events was unusually loud and obnoxious.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Karaoke is always fun. Didn’t really go to any shows

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

Disembarkation was the worst I’ve ever experienced on a cruise. We purchased faster to the fun and it made zero difference. Even the platinum and diamonds were not getting priority. It was pure chaos

Nice trip...

Everything was great. We really enjoyed Cayman Island.
