It was nice, but could have been a lot better.

Review summary

Not getting to go on my excursion was a big let down. Having carnival offer me a shortened alternative worse option for more money was an even bigger let down!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Difficult to find healthy food. No healthy snacks available in the fun shops. Limited options at meal times, but okay. Very difficult to get staff to understand you want to order off the vegan menu!!!

Some were great, some were a bust.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room guy was great. Servers didn’t understand my spice sensitivity from chemo. That destroyed half the nights I was on the trip.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It was a nice setup and they did keep it very clean, especially for the people they have to deal with.

Cabin / Stateroom

It worked alright for me. Biggest problem was a backed up shower drain. As a cancer patient with a colostomy, that was a big problem.

Ship tip

Get ready to spend a lot of money on onboard activities and other stuff.
