Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The middle decks were cutoff from other areas and the design made it hard to get to main dining rooms

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Our cabin got flooded from the ship busted pipe the first night and our luggage got wet. We had to change to another cabin. The shower drain in that cabin got blocked and flooded the floor a second time.

Ship tip

The ship needs to be updated

Noumea, New Caledonia

We docked twice on this island and was not able to use the beach because they were closed. Also the merchants and tour guides are rude and there is limited activities to do

My least favorite Carnival ship and yes food on Carnival is cheap and small portions..... I have for the first time this year booked two other cruiselines to try.... platinum does not have enough perks to keep me faithful
