Embarkation

Sailed from Long Beach and it took a total of 15 min from security/passport check to walking the gangway! Easy peasy!

Onboard Activities

My fav was the Veterans Table and Military Appreciation event. This was unexpected and very thoughtful of Carnival to host for our fellow veterans (my husband included). Shows are suitable for all ages!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Chai our room steward was AMAZING! He was always working and always managed to take time to greet us and help in anyway needed. Our waitstaff at the Goldberg Pearl (Bogdan, PERCIVAL, and Eduardo did a fantastic job at catering to our family of 6. They knew us by name and were excellent at making recommendations when we didn’t know what to order.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Hard walking through 5th deck w a child having to pass the casino w all the smoke. You can tell the ship is older but overall it serves its purpose and a FUN SHIP and im glad to have experienced it.
