Review summary

This was probably one of the worst cruises I’ve ever had with carnival. I am a platinum member and I was quite disillusioned by the entertainment staff and a good majority of the food offerings.

Was there anything good about this cruise. Or was it an excuse for you to brag about being a platinum member with carnival and acting like a bit of a snob as a result of it?

Wonderful

Not the right time of year to cruise to Hawaii - too cold!

Loved the ports I visited in Hawaii
