Review summary

This cruise is good for youngsters and families with kids. Also, it is relatively within budget. But it does not suit well the elderly travelers or those who prefer quiet and more intellectual environment

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fairy smooth and well organized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Easy access to buffets and decent varieties of food

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

That’s exactly the main issue. Carefully select a cruise that feet’s your needs. If you prefer quiet, relaxing environment, there is nothing for you on a Carnival cruise

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The shows were of high quality but, again, such environment is great for youngsters. Too loud, non-stop music with practically no possibility for any intellectual activities. No chess, no lectures on anything… Specifically, about loud music: even customer service was set up right across the stage so that an agent could not be normally heard because of a noisy performance. Was it a good idea?

Children's Programs

There were no accompanying children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Good service, very attentive staff.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Overall OK. There was a problem with one of the main elevators. Also, was it necessary to be painting certain area on the open, most crowded desk 10 near the pool during cruise? It smelled terrible and the whole area was blocked. Couldn’t it be done before the cruise?

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

No issues, OK

Ship tip

As I said in the beginning: carefully choose a cruise that meets your personal needs/preferences. This one was designed just for fun: loud music, water and carelessness.
