Review summary

Excellent activities on board, but I thought the pricing for internet and drinks were too high.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Dining was good, but overly crowded because of poor staff management.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I was disappointed based on what I read about Carnival entertainment. Talent was mediocre at best and the choriography was below average and funny at times without trying to be. Onboard activities were tremendous

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Ship's crew was rude and incompetent. The preparation in entering port was terrible and extremely inefficient.

Ship Quality

Very easy to get around and maps were provided throughout the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

EXCELLENT cleaning staff; friendly and efficient.

Skagway, Alaska

3 out of 5

We took the Yukon White Pass Rail Tour and Dog Sled Experience with Chilkoot Charters. The Chilkoot tour guide was EXCELLENT. The Dog Sled experience was excellent also and the Bar-B-Que chicken was the best ever.
