Review summary

We felt this entire cruise was inappropriate for families. From the first night on the ship girls were acting like strippers all around the pool and one fully exposed her breasts at a show in the theater. She wasn't a performer, just in the audience but I guess thought she was the main attraction. We saw this behavior repeatedly throughout the week by various guests and they were never asked to cover up.

Embarkation

That part went smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Food was awful. Lines were very long and at times confusing, as they would merge with lines for other foods.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not enough onboard entertainment,especially with 2 full days at sea. One must be either a gambler, hard core drunk and partyer, or a young child. There was no place to sit back and enjoy the carribean with a drink.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Too much like a college frat party

Children's Programs

Not utilized

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Personnel was great, however the cruise line itself disappointed us. We chose to sail with Carnival to celebrate our daughter's 16th birthday and in turn were told we were not randomly selected to be celebrated with so my daughter had to watch others get free things while she did not.

Ship Quality

Ship tip

This is a party ship for young adults

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Too many pushy locals selling aggressively but neat island overall

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island) Did not visit port

Canceled it for safety reasons, which was fine, but offered a sad replacement of trivia and summer camp games.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Best island by far for those wanting an authentic island experience

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Went smoothly

I was on the same cruise and had a great time. Lines for food were definitely lo ger than normal and the crowd out of Miami can get a little more rowdy than most. I always pack my patience and have great time cruising no matter what!

Thank you for the review. I hope your reported the nudity to the staff onboard. Maybe you need to stick with RCCL.

They should have done some research on Carnival. While it is a decent cheap trip, it is also home to a lot of semi-alcoholics that do strange things.

I’m sorry you had such a lousy experience. Very upsetting after looking so forward to it for so long.
