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.
