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

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.
