Review summary

Generally good time. Felt like carnival was cutting corners with these staffing and it showed. Still had fun. Hopefully maintenance will improve this ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

30 minutes from curb to ship.

Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Aft hot tubs down for duration of cruise. Aft pool closed mid afternoon on excursion day (Nassau) after the water turned a very gross green. Plenty to do onboard except mid afternoon seems a dead zone.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Staff in most areas were excellent. Tide’s bartender did more ignoring people than serving. Our room steward was the absolute best. Ship overall felt short staffed.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cleanliness was A+. Ship itself needs work. Felt worn and many, including myself had issues with odd smells (sewer, paint). Couldn’t use balcony since floor was swampy mushy the whole cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was nice but a little smaller than previous cruise. Bed comfortable and plenty of closet space. Balcony not useable due to mushy wood and odor.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and painless. Were back at our hotel by 10am.
