Review summary

Overall the ship and crew were great! Although a remodeled ship it was great! Food was excellent. One thing I would like to see done differently is the your time dining. On previous ships we had an assigned table and server. This time you had to wait in a line and have a pager which the first night took forever and seemed very unorganized. Our server the first night was wonderful and we never saw him again. That was a bit disappointing.

The room, staff, ship and entertainment was great!

Room service could have been better. Waiting for 45 min to an hour was a bit much.

The room was great. But we were under the lido deck so all day and night we could hear people moving the lounge chairs above us. The placement of the room was perfect near the elevators and laundry room. So getting to an iron was good.

Beware of the men with the monkeys! Free wifi in all the shops was great though.

My experience is that anytime dining is very crowded the first night, sea days, and formal nights. I like late dining so u don't have to rush to make 5:15-5:30. Plus u get to know your waiter and they u. I recommend late dining.

We always do anytime dining, it allows you the flexibility to when you want to within a certain time line, I think it's great

Yes I like the early or late seating.You get to know your waitress and you have assign seat.Instead of waiting in line.I think I'm going back to the old way..Late seating..That my opinion..Enjoy

They have early or late seating from what I understood, everytime I cruised with carnival I picked the seating I wanted early or late. Did this change?
