Review summary

I mostly hated it. This was not the crowd of cruisers I was looking for. The meals tasted like I was eating cafeteria food and there were way to many noisy kids running the halls, AND the cruisers did not observe the dining code. This is NOT THE CRUISELINE for the Uppercrust...NOT LUXURIOUS AT ALL.

Trivia needs a room to host their events. They were well-attended; however, they were in a high traffic open area 🤨😕

Entertainment

Pool too small. Hasbro show was good though.

I must say that Ngoni, Iwan and Eman were exceptional.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

The bed frame is too hard and the mattress didn’t fit the frame. Walls are paper thin. The bathroom fixtures are rusty. The toilet smelled dank even after daily cleaning. The room was dusty and the decor is very outdated!!!!

Ship tip

Very old ship! Rooms are not updated. Reminds you of a floating 1977 lounge.

What a WASTE of my money and my time 😖. So 😡 ANGRY that they switched my ports to this beach. NO REAL SHOPPING (3 little gift huts), NO TOWN TO GO INTO, 2 things to do...lay around or go in the water. UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!! NO REAL EXCURSIONS!!! You take tender boats to the island and spend all your time waiting in line to eat the CRAPPY, UNDERCOOKED beach food..you were waiting in line to board to go there and in line waiting to board to go back!!!! I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL.

You apparently did not research. Carnival advertises they are the fun ship. There are other cruise lines for snobs like you

If this was not the crowd of cruisers that you were looking for then apparently you failed to do your homework. Using a travel agent or either doing the research yourself would have made for a better experience. Proper research would have told you whether or not this was the cruise for you.

Guess us low life's will continue to sail on this cruise line that (according to you) is not for the uppercrust aka upper class *insert sarcasm*

You should have stayed home in your ‘UPPERCRUST’ penthouse suite
