Service and Staff

1 out of 5

WAITED OVER 2 HOURS TO RECEIVE BREAKFAST IN THE DINING ROOM FOR BRUNCH AND FOOD WAS TERRIBLE. OFTEN SENT DINNER PLATES BACK. ON CRUISE FOR 5 NIGHTS AND ONLY 1 NIGHT HAD A DECENT MEAL. BURGER JOINT BY THE POOL WAS THE BEST THING GOING.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

DID NOT LIKE THE FACT YOU HAD TO WALK THROUGH A SMOKEY CASINO TO GET TO DINNER EVERY NIGHT. TOTALLY RUINED MY APPETITE. SHIP WAS CLEAN.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

ROOM WAS TOO SMALL. YOU COULD SMELL THE GASOLINIE FROM THE SHIP WHEN YOU WERE ON THE BALCONY. WOULD HAVE PERFERRED A SLIDING DOOR FOR ACCESS TO THE BALCONY. CLOSET SPACE WAS GOOD. BED WAS COMFORTABLE. SPA WAS AWESOME.

Ports of call

Norfolk, Virginia

Nassau, Bahamas

WE DID NOT GET OFF THE SHIP UNTIL 2 AND EVERYTHING CLOSED AT 5:30 AND WE WERE THERE UNTIL 8PM. WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THERE EARLY IN THE MORNING IN ORDER TO ENJOY THE ISLAND AND THE SHOPS. YOU ONLY HAD 3 HOURS TO ENJOY SHOPPING OR ATLANTIS, THAT SUCKED.

TOOK TO LONG AND INSTEAD OF DOING AT TOP FLOOR AND A BOTTOM FLOOR THEY DID THE TOP FLOORS AT THE SAME TIME AND SHUT DOWN 4 ELEVATORS IT TOOK FOREVER TO CATCH AN ELEVATOR TO DISEMBARK.

Maybe cruising isn't for you, but we love it. An all-inclusive resort with huge pools might be more to your liking. Cruise cabins are all smaller than hotel rooms, with Carnival having the somewhat largest on the sea, at all location/type levels. Inside, Oceanview, Balcony, Suite - we have done them all on several different lines. The food is consistently good in the MDR, with 5 star available in the specialty restaurants. We love the leisurely brunches on sea days. If you want speed to get on to activities, the buffet is ready when you are with great fresh omelets. We have cruised several lines, but come back to Carnival for itineraries, fun, cost, and great crews. BTW - all caps are rude.

Not a real review!!!!! You can tell this person is a troll. He probably wakes up in the morning frowns at the mirror and then kicks the dog. If he is married I feel sorry for her. Nasty attitude. Love the Sunshine and Carnival!!!!!!!!!!!!
