Review summary

it was a cheap Carnival cruise and the food was really the biggest let down !!! go for the ports stops NOT the food on the ship.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Ship Not at the pier I thought, the docking could flip flop, BE WHERE !

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
the Main dinning room offered the best Quality, BUT, U had to be picky as to witch item they could screw up the least ! the buffet dinning was really mediocre a big disappointment, BUT ! if burger King is your idea of a great dining experience, you'll be right at home.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Ok I guess if your into that stuff, With all the shore excursions lots & lots of walking & poor food quality I lost 7 lbs on this cruise. so who needs a fitness center.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The one show that was really great was the 88 keys show, the rest were very amateurish.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Mostly great and the staff really tried hard to please, the one time they really fell on their faces is at lunch in the main dinning room I was seated at a table for 4 and while eating a guy came over and started to clear the table and was reaching over the top of me while eating to clear the plates on the far side, WOW this could have waited !

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
YES I liked the ship a lot nice size did not feel over crowed, very easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Liked the their APP the HUB used it a lot, but still needed to give more information & in a more timely manner left me guessing what was going to happen ?

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
YA but WHAT PIER IS THE SHIP LEAVING FROM ! care to let me in on the secret in ADVANCE

Mykonos, Greece

1 out of 5
Was canceled due to winds really WINDS Never got to see Delos this was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT, OH but we'll give you a fun day at sea, fun my ass ! a thrown together bunch of BS, I was really PISSED.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5
Easy docking, easy to get to bus for excursion, LOVED Ephesus, lots of walking but that's part of the game.

Santorini, Greece

3 out of 5
Could take this or leave it very touristy, you could walk the donkey trail NOT recommended ! or take the BIG bottle neck lift to the top and back down, NOW be prepared sometimes it's a 2 hr line to get down, don't miss your ship !

Piraeus (Athens), Greece

5 out of 5
Great Dock, get ready Athens sets the bar for traffic, OMG !

Katakolon (Olympia), Greece

5 out of 5
Great port dock easy easy easy, your on you way, the excursion I was on stopped at at a olive grove and processing farm, OMG the best experience, the food the wine ie Vino was the best I ever had in my life, I have never tasted olive oil like this you could drink it by the glass and want more, entertainment was also provided, all I can say is WOW !

Messina, Sicily

5 out of 5

Naples, Italy

5 out of 5
