Review summary

I would cruise with Carnival again, just not on this ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was effortless when we arrived and were checked in and then let on the ship immediately.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The buffets left a lot to be desired, and you needed to go to the specialty restaurants to get a great meal.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I spent a lot of time in the spa.

Entertainment

We didn't go to the shows.

Children's Programs

We didn't travel with kids.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
The service was okay only compared to other cruises we have been on.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship felt dirty, and our cabin was dusty and had stains that never were attempted to be cleaned the entire 4-days on the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin was very small for a balcony cabin, but the cabin needed a good deep cleaning from previous guests.

Ship tip

Many elevators go to places that you cannot to where you need to go. You need to re-enter the elevator, go to a different floor, and walk to a different elevator to get to where you need to go.

Ensenada, Mexico Did not visit port

We didn't like Ensenada when we were there in December, so we stayed on the ship.
