Review summary

Carnival is a reliable fun time, If they did some more work on their technology, including their app they'd lead the sector.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Getting on the Ship takes less time and effort than your average airline flight.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food and drinks available and the value is about what it was ten or 20 years ago; not bad but nothing special. For daytime dining the "Guy's Burger Place" on the Lido desk is fast and delish.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
One of the best experiences of the cruise. The decor is weird but other than that it is one of the few places on the ship one wishes were open more hours of the day/evening.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Great fun, too bad it's not non-smoking.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
Shows were fun with a talented cast -- sure wish they were longer than 30 minutes.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Pleasant and well informed. VERY dedicated to the guest.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Like most vessels of this size that I've sailed on the decor is dated and worn but clean. Imaging an 80's Hilton

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
A very comfortable clean cabin. I only wish the ships TV system offered a larger variety of News and entertainment.

Ship tip

Wi FI and internet access is spotty and unreliable -- even if you buy the high end package you'll be lucky to get 1990's dial up speeds and connections. Don't expect to get the same service you'd get on say a major airliner, the system is just to archaic.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Great opportunity for events and activities before or after cruising.

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Fun port to visit, even if at a weird time (7 AM -1PM.)

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Great cruise terminal and plenty of activities to choose from.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Took longer than expected mostly because passengers were confused or couldn't hear or follow instructions. Perhaps integrate the HUB app for timing and instruction.
