Dinner was so good every single night in the dining room. Lido buffet was ehh. Deli was bomb. Indian food was ok. Pizza was good. Chefs table was worth every penny.

Disembarkation

Went smoothly for us since we had faster to the fun. Had breakfast and made it out of the ship pretty quickly. Customs took a bit longer. But while walking out of the ship, we passed by tons of people waiting to disembark.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise!🛳. Every cruise line has a positive and a negative. The only way to know is to try them yourself.

People like it or not. It's the "Fun" ship company and people tend to see a lot of people drinking and getting drunk. We were on the Carnival Sunshine last year from June 8-16 and never encountered this.
