Review summary

Wasn't as good as my previous Carnival cruises. I didn't know this was one of the smaller ships. The elevators seemed to never work or go to the floor that you needed. The food areas seemed to always be closing when people were coming in to eat. Ice cream is available through out the cruise; however, only one machine was working for the whole cruise. The 2nd one had an out of service sign.

Just played games as a group. If there were some kids that didn't want to play they had to watch.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

I would give a full happy face except for two employees. One who said my wife left the ship at Grand Turk to find out she didn't and after 30 min. of running around on the island, I found her on the ship and the guy said " I never told you that." The other was the man that collected the luggage and barked "I'm leaving in 5 min. AND I'M NOT COMING BACK." I got my luggage out in 2 min. and he already left.

Cabin / Stateroom

My front door opened into a pole - WTF? A pole positioned behind my door. I had to walk sideways in to my room.
