Review summary

HAVING GONE ON SEVERAL CRUISES, THIS CRUISE WAS NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS.

THE DINING EXPERIENCE WAS ALWAYS TO BE LOOKED FORWARD TO. THIS TIME WAS DISAPPOINTING. FOOD WAS GOOD, WAITERS WERE GOOD BUT OVERWORKED. SLOWED UP SERVICE, TO LONG TO COMPLETE MEAL.

MAIN SPECTACULAR ENTERTAINMENT NOT TO OUR LIKING.

SMOKING IN CASINO PREVENTED USAGE AT TIMES.

STATEROOM SERVICE VERY GOOD.

COLOR SCHEME OF SHIP LOOKS LIKE PEPTO BISMO

Can you tell me if it got the fun ship 2.0 upgraded it was scheduled for in March 2016? Did it have Guys Burger, Burrito Bar, punchliner comedy...

It's a cruise ship and it's gonna look like a 60's Vegas hotel motel lobby

It's been a while since I've been on Carnival and I'm reading a lot of reviews on the food being served. I also believe that Carnival has cut back on their food or menu and selling it as "American Table" but I'll be in the position to make my opinion in a few months.

I thought food in MDR was poor-average. And the 2 hrs to complete dinner was frustrating when catching show times. Staff is great just overworked and understaffed. Lido dinner buffet was terrible,did enjoy steakhouse and deli was good. Room steward excellent, ports excellent. Done a lot of carnival cruises and the cut backs on quality of food and employees is starting to show. Just not the same

I don't care about the decor. I just want to cruise somewhere and have a good time.

Really, the color schemes don't have anything what so ever to do with how good my trip is.
