Review summary

Carnival is inexpensive, but not cheap. They do a great job of showing us a great time. Why pay twice as much for a similar experience elsewhere?

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smoother than a baby's bottom.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Very clean, and the food was average or higher. The only complaint I had was the dining room hostess. Asian gal, with long black hair in a ponytail. Anyone that approached her, including myself, was given an impatient sigh or side glare. We seem to have bothered her with our questions.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The facilities were always clean, and the folks doing the cleaning and monitoring were kind.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Outstanding talent, per usual.

Children's Programs

I didn't bring my teens.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our steward and the gal who did my facial were my favorite people, but honestly, EVERYONE had a smile or kind word for us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Easy, clean, very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Will 150% grab this cabin again. It was just me and the BFF, and the layout was spacious. The view was OUTSTANDING.

Ship tip

Have some respect at the buffet. You're not cattle, you're human. Behave accordingly.

Ports of call

Long Beach (Los Angeles), California

5 out of 5
Love Trader Joe's and Chick Fil A.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Slid off that ship like a prom dress behind the bleachers. Smooth.

Your ship tip is why many people don't go on carnival and rather pay more elsewhere. Thanks for your review and glad you had a wonderful time.
