Review summary

Good cruise. Long time cruiser and disappointed at loss of perks on cruise ships. Miss the welocme aboard parties, the captain's parties, and the return guests parties. Also the perks for long time cruisers getting less and less. Communication is getting worse. Often they would make an announcement and by the time you could get to a hall to hear it, it would be over. The Hub app is hard to navigate and I notice that no matter where we were, the app always said the outside temperature was the same. They are better about ship photographers not hounding you but photo equipment was set up in atrium and made it hard to get around or find a place to sit and enjoy music.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Only two complaints. The Carnival Hub app always had a spot for asking to be included in group table, but it didn't matter what you selected. Also, we occasionally like fish and chips but the only fish and chips was offered right at dinner time, when we would be in main seating.
