Review summary

Overall, it was a good time. Nice ship with good included food and shows. The comedians are very good on carnival. The main dining room is just ok. Always had live music somewhere. Staff were friendly and cleaning. The buffet is ok. Passport makes it easier to disembark. Scan face and go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Shaq's tenders, guys, burgers, and the deli were good. Guy's bbq some good, some not so good. Main dining room breakfast is ok. Toast was steamed in the covered plates, and or under a heat lamp was tough as steak. Dinner items hit or miss.

Farenheit 555 Steakhouse

5 out of 5

Great steaks and Lamb along with great service. Well worth it.

Cucina del Capitano

Good Italian food and lots of it. Good service too.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Comedy shows were great, and we saw a little bit of the summer of 69 show and loved the addition of the drones.

Overpriced regular candy you can get almost everywhere.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Had a suite and was blessed to have a great room steward.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Clean ship. Didn't feel much movement. It's hard to navigate. It's almost like you can't get there from here.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Had a suite. It was clean. Had a jacuzzi tub and a good balcony. Great room steward.

Ship tip

Stay on a deck with rooms to go from end to end to get to the places easier. Stay away from the atrium for your room. Loud music during the evening might be heard inside the room. All decks.
