Review summary

Carnival should be grateful that so many people think they are the cheapest way to go! I still believe you get what you pay for! Back to Royal Caribbean for me, I only booked this cruise as it was for me and my best friends birthday and she wanted Carnival

Food was so so at best. Best was the Blue Iguana and Guys Burgers since you could fix them yourself

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Slides don’t work, only one bingo session

Entertainment

Sad 70’s show

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Deon Cruise director was great, Antoniu and Christian the bartenders great and Asher the waitress was great. Mirabel the Service Manager was a liar and didn’t care

E237- they were doing work outside on the floor below and started at 8am every day even after we complained and Mirabel lied and said they were not going to be working anymore

Horseback riding was excellent and the staff was great but your Drink Package doesn’t apply??! On their own island? That’s robbery!

You definitely get what you pay for. As far as the working on the ship, they have to do work while people are on board since they operate 7 days a week. 8:00 am seems to be a reasonable time to start. Much better than working until late night after 10:00 pm.
