Review summary

The cruise director made what could have been the worst cruise we had our very favorite. Just goes to show that Carnival has the right people in the right positions to make up for physical things going on what was a shake down cruise. There were still contractors onboard although you hardly noticed them. Would I do it again? Sure

Embarkation

Norfolk hadn''t done a cruise in over two years. There was no organization, only blemish on an overall great cruise.

Chris Williams, "The Flying Scotsman" our cruise director was outstanding, if you weren''t crying from laughing you were asleep. He is the best we''ve seen.

This was the first voyage out of drydock. There were a few kinks that were worked out.

Happy for you guys. Glad you could see the glass half full instead of half empty. It's what you make of it.

As an ex US Navy sailor, I have to wonder why Norfolk was rated so high, did they take down the no sailors allowed signs so you could do things? (Alright, so that was a FEW years ago 🤪)
