Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was ok. Skip Pinnacle Steakhouse it’s a waste of money. Baked potato was cold. Chicken isn’t boneless or skinless.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our room was under the gym. Noisy to say the least. Not what I paid. Seems Carnival gives Cheap Caribbean the crappy rooms to sell. I upgraded to a balcony spa room so I would guaranteed to not have an obstructed view. The view was good, but the noise from the gym above us was loud and woke us up early daily.

Ship tip

Go cruise on Celebrity instead. It’s a totally different kind of experience.

I agree with summer holiday. Never let any cruise line pick you room. I always make sure that the room above and below are cabins. The cruise line will always pick the less desirable ones to give to you because otherwise they can’t fill them. Always do your research. It’s not just carnival it is all of the cruise lines.
