Review summary
We won this cruise and were reluctant to go. We had only been on one cruise before and didn’t like it. This cruise was a pleasant surprise. It was SO MUCH FUN! We loved the food, the pool, the ports, the casino, and the onboard activities. We loved it so much, we rebooked for the same cruise one year later.... but this time we booked with our four kids.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Grand Buffet
Breakfast was just right. The omelet station was our favorite.
Onboard Activities
Liner Lido Pool
We spent a lot of time here on sea days. There is a lot going on. The cruise directors made the days in the sun awesome
Entertainment
Carnival Seaside Theater
We watched all the movies. So cool being under the stars. Nice touch that there was closed captioning. (In case guests got loud.)

Ship tip
Spend a couple hours immediately after boarding to learn the layout of the ship. Which elevator goes where, and which deck gets you to the main areas. Show up early for shows, some seats have posts that can block your view. If you are planning a pool day, show up early for a spot at the main lido pool. They usually have a lot of activities and entertainment there on sea days.
