Review summary

We were not overly thrilled about this cruise. We have cruised over 25 times and the clientele wasn't what we are use to. We probably will not go on Carnival again. The service in the dining room was very poor. Food wasn't all that great neither. There were other choices to eat so we were glad for that. Pizza was good, and Guys burgers was a hit. Embarkation and debarkation was easy enough. It moved quickly and easy but the shuttle service to the airport thru the cruise line was so slow, having to wait a long time for the bus.

Service in the main dining was poor. Waiter kept forgetting to bring us what we asked for, Service was slow and the food was not all that great.

They closed the sports area too early in the evening.So my grandsons couldn't play basketball.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward Adi was great.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

It was clean and maintained. The windows were very dirty though. Bad design for the ship having to walk through dining rooms, bars and casino.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

The beds were comfortable. That particular state room was the worst one we've stayed in as far as the location as the crew C02 room was right next door and there was banging , moving stuff around all night long. Woke us up numerous times.

Ship tip

Probably take another cruise line.

If the room steward was great then why only 3 stars?
