Review summary

This was a great family trip for Thanksgiving. We had a large group. We loved the lido decks and theater. We were all able to meet up for meals and really enjoyed our time onboard.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very fast and easy, we walked right on the ship!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Guy's Burgers was excellent and the main dining room was very good. The only knock was the buffet was poorly laid out and the food was below average.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We had a great cruise director who made everything extremely fun!

Entertainment

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

This ship needs some help. The kids club was all the way in the bow of the ship. When traveling from the northeast to the Bahamas, there was no stability with all of the waves crashing and rocking the ship since you have to travel long distance. Kids were constantly sick in the kids club because of the location and it was small and outdated.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

We had excellent service all around!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I loved the ship. It was very easy to navigate and find stuff. The only knock would be the kids club location but everything else was perfect sized for our group!

Cabin / Stateroom

This is the best secret in Carnival! You get a balcony size room with sunlight at the price of an interior. All of these rooms (formerly called French Door Interior) have a locked balcony because it's where the lifeboats are at!
