Review summary

Fun, but crowded. Would not cruise on Carnival again. We’d rather pay a bit more and have a more comfortable, less crowded cruise. We are in our 60s and went on this one for our granddaughter.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Service was slow, slow, slow! In some cases, had just one person doing the job of three people while there were at least 50 guests in line! Happened at Big Chicken and the Bistro.

I am 61yrs old I would like to do all the fun stuff like on broad zip line,rock wall, go carts ect. But reading all these reviews I think I'm going to stay with celebrity.

👋🏾 Go try Viking or something in a different season other than summer. Every line is going to be crowded on a SUMMER cruise. Thanks for sharing.

Short cruises tend to be more crowded

I would expect that with school starting shortly, a larger than normal passenger count is expected. Sorry that your cruise was not what you had hoped it would be.
