Review summary

First ever Carnival cruise. Definitely a fun ship. Great atmosphere. Ship was clean but needed work of elevators.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The employees did the best they could with three different arrival times. Pretty much everyone arrived at the same time. Terminal was long, basic, hot, crowded. Fatigue settled in after the 35 minute process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was hit or Miss. Guys, blue iguana were delicious. While Pizza was dry, ice cream had zero flavor. Bonsai was good. Didn’t do buffet. MDR was ok. Salmon cake was horrible.
