Review summary

After a three year wait that included four cancelled cruises, it was wonderful to sail again. Carnival delivers value

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Everything was delayed 2+ hours as the ship arrived late due to rough waters. Not Carnival’s fault. And I respect Mother Nature too much to blame her.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Mostly good. The Flatiron steak is no longer served every night in the MDR. Its replacement was a grizzly sirloin strip…yuck. Guy’s was incredible. Always is!! No more S’mores Parfaits. I almost wept
