Allways great to be cruising! No masks!!! Sailabration was a huge let down after all the hype. They could have made it so much better. Crew was outstanding as allways. I try to be completely honest with my reviews and hope they improve some of the things. Hopefully I'm not to rough. Still love Carnival!
Embarkation

Very quick through security and check in. Good job. Had a few decorations for the BIG, lol, 50th celabration.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Food and drink are always good. Some temperature issues but allways decent. Service across the board was a little slow but ship was very understaffed. Not the employees fault.
Butterflies Lounge
5 out of 5
Adult comedy shows were outstanding!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Serenity pool is where we spent most of our time. It was nice to have an all adult pool! Carnival needs to bring back the adult pools on all of the ships like it used to be. Did not do any other activities but others seemed to be happy with what was offered. Really expected more 50th birthday activities. There weren't many.
Serenity Aft Pool
5 out of 5
Great little pool! Never too crowded. Lifeguards were allways attentive.
Entertainment

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Staff was great and did what they could to take care of everything and everyone. Ship was understaffed.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
This is a smaller ship and it is easy to navigate. Beautiful interior design. The outside and lido deck was very worn. Lots of rust. Rails are rough. Just really neglected. It is going to Spain we heard. Maybe it will be repaired before then? They did paint some of the hull while in Roatan but they got more paint on the dock and windows than the hull. It was a big mess.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was fine. A standard balcony. Clean. Everything worked. AC was adequate. Cabin steward forgot to replace towels sometimes but, he had to take care of 50+ rooms. Again, an understaffing issue. Not his fault. We think he had a helper but only saw him once.
Ship tip
Although the ship exterior is worn, the interior is beautiful! Ship is great for those that are new to cruising or those that cannot physically navigate a larger ship.
Went to Little French Key. Second time. Great place to go and chill on the beach. Beautiful animal preserve there. TAKE BUG SPRAY! Unfortunately I got bit up by sandflies and it is awful! Still miserable 4 days later. You have been warned.
Bad weather caused a late arrival. Got off around 11. Had to navigate through all the people getting on. Not much direction from staff on how to get luggage and get out. One porter was screaming at people to get out of his way but everyone was jammed up and couldn't go anywhere. Hard to figure out where to go for transportation services.
Thank you for the review, we'll be sailing on the Pride very soon, looking forward to it! Good, honest review, I appreciate your adding your excursions & opinion of them.
