Review summary

I am glad this wasn’t my first cruise or I would have been turned off to cruising.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

A lot of hassle and confusion

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

All free food was not good. The food we had to pay for was descent. The burgers were pretty good. Very disappointed there was no midnight buffers.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Pools were very small and over crowded. Whirlpools were taken over by children all day. And the shoes were sub par.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

DJ was ok. Wish they had night clubs. I did enjoy the comedians.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

Kids activities were good. They had a lot for them to do-take over.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Room stewards were attentive and very good. Waiters need improvement. They cancelled each other out for the rating score.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Wait staff got slower with cleanup as the days progressed.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabins were clean and well kept.

Ship tip

Don’t go on this one...maybe another Carnival ship would be better.

Absolutely agree! Is this was my first cruise I’d never cruise carnival again. We are platinum so I know this ship, the food, service (especially cleaning) and entertainment are all below par. Truly sad the only good food was what we paid for. Especially since they have raised the price of drinks.
