Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Cabin steward Ramon was very welcoming. Olga, our wait person in Cucina restaurant was wonderful serving such a large table. Surprisingly, found a lot of staff was unengaging and just downright cranky. Realize they have to deal with a lot, but a smile or hello doesn’t take much effort. Tables in lounges left uncleared. Had to clear numerous times. No waiters in lounges.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Bathrooms were disgusting and not cleaned often enough. Lounge tables not cleaned. Sports lounge not staffed on nfl football game day.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Towels were the worst quality I’ve had. Room steward Ramon was charming. No hair conditioner/ lotion is ridiculous. We paid as much as other cruises with much better amenities. Carnival really is a budget cruise line.
