Review summary

Overall a very relaxing cruise vacation will definitely be on Carnival again. Ship's company was very friendly and upbeat. The servers on the Lido deck bars were fantastic as were our dining room waiters. We have never had such complete cabin service it was a pleasure.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

The port was overwhelmed, people were going everywhere with no idea where to go. No cruise or port people to guide you to the correct location. We were suite passengers and had faster to the fun as well. We were never directed to the lounge. Checkin by Carnival was crazy again no direction and no supervision of the staff.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Best we could have hoped for BJ and his team were amazing in the dining room. By the 3rd day they were able to anticipate our immediate needs and had everything at the table when we got there. The Lido deck buffets were good but the dining area was laid out weird. There was no easy traffic pattern from the food line to the tables.
