Review summary

Overall the cruise was amazing and overall was 5 stars. The only flaws were the layout and the embarkation and debarkation

Embarkation

1 out of 5

This was my first cruise back from covid break. To say i was disappointed is an understatement. I am Platinum on Carnival and before covid it came with some perks like a special seating area and priority check in. Several other platinum and diamond guests were unhappy waiting in the long lines while suites walked right to the front. This embarkation was slow and no seating for priority guests. Unless you are book a suite you will be treated like everyone else. Suite guests got to get on before diamond and platinum but before covid it was diamond platinum and suite all together.

Ship tip

The layout of the ship was frustrating. You cant get to a venue without going up or down and floor and walking to seperate elevators such was the dining and limelight
