It was ok.

Ship tip

Food selections in the fancy Sunrise restaurant were too limited, too geared for elitist tastes, and the portions were insultingly small. Cuchina food was excellent and big portions.

Not the ship's fault bad weather happened. We had some weather the first few days, it went away and it was very fun from there. The ship can't control the weather so I don't see what the problem is with that. these reviews of ships should only be about how the ship is interior and outside, not about your cruise outside the ship or weather. All about the ships, remember that ;|

Really unfair to give a ship one star because of bad weather. Last time I checked Cruise Ships don't control the weather. And if you didn't like the food at the Sunrise restaurant there's always the buffet which was always good on the Fantasy when we went. And usually cruises tend to choose foods toward "elitists tastes" if that's what you want to call it. But that's usually in the main dining room & usually lobster. They always have an array of things for any type of food so that seems odd.

agree with gellmore, can't blame the bad weather on carnival. November thru January is usually rough water.

On a cruise ship? 😒Did you participate in any ship activities? Comedy Club? Casino? Shows? It isn't the best that it rained but that can happen with any vacation anywhere.

It doesn't seem fair to give the ship a 1 star review because of the weather.
