Review summary

While the cruise was very enjoyable, there were things that could have been done to make it more fun. Th e room that "fit" 4 people was way too small. The pools are too small and ONLY one hot tub. Movie night was a great family activity! The staff as always were amazing friendly and helpful. I did not like that we were not informed of some of the specials that took place. They are not listed in the itinerary (photo specials and happy hours for example)

The lines were much to long. Its a buffet, let people serve themselves. Waiting for the staff slowed things down and created a lot of the lines

Normandie Restaurant

With the exception of the slow service at breakfast this was amazing. The staff and food were both incredible

Hot Tubs

There was only one and at many times there were more than 20 people in it. The water was barely warm and I never saw it cleaned

Did you utilize the Carnival Hub?

Pride has 3 hot tubs. But one is in the serenity area (no kids) and one is way up front in the fitness area. And of course the one in the middle of ship

A lot of times those specials are inserts to the itineraries. They usually leave a ton of paper in the room with the itineraries.
