Review summary

Having previously sailed with both Royal Caribbean and NCL it was interesting to see how they compared. They pride themselves on being a "fun ship" and on the whole it was . The Entertainment overall though was poor and also the food in the main dining room and buffet dining was poor compared to both RCI and NCL. I chose this cruise because of the itinerary which was great. Embarcation and disembarkation were the usual. The majority of passengers were from the US and they were a real fun crowd. Would I travel again with Carnival, food and entertainment could have been better but we had a great time.

Balcony cabin was as good as any I have stayed in. Helpful steward kept it spotless.
