Review summary

Good cruise have cruised carnival before and would definitely cruise with carnival again. The worse thing is the price of alcoholic drinks. A double Bacardi and Diet Pepsi with the tip was $18.88 shocking when 2 litre bottles of Barcardi in the duty free shop were $26. P&O who we cruised with in April this year had drinks at a very good price. Yet you are all under the same company

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved the design of this ship. It was old and interesting. Every where was clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Had to change cabins as I could hear what sounded like an industrial fan. Mohamed Ali from customer service was excellent and allowed us to change rooms. This room was quite clean and very well attended. Very small but had everything we needed

Ship tip

If you can afford a cabin with a sofa in I would advise you to book one

Ports of call

Copenhagen, Denmark

2 out of 5
Because it said we were only 15 minutes walk to the centre we walked. About 1 hour 15 minutes later we reached the centre. Got the bus back. Very misleading information.

Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany

5 out of 5
Loved this stop. A very short walk from the port

Tallinn, Estonia

4 out of 5

Helsinki, Finland

4 out of 5
No excursion

Nynashamn (Stockholm), Sweden Did not visit port

Ship did not go there

Kiel, Germany

1 out of 5
Got the bus into the centre for 19 dollar return. Mayhem to get on the return bus.

Thanks for the review

The drinks were high on this ship because of the European taxes! You were sailing in the Caribbean before where they don't charge the taxes just for being there. It has nothing to do with the cruiseline!

Alcohol is in such demand on Carnival ships that they can gouge and still have no problem meeting sales quotas. At least the rest of the ship was good.
