Review summary

This was our 8th cruise from 4 different companies. This was our first carnival cruise. They didn't have great entertainment or a lot of thing going on like others we've been on, but then we paid a lot less too. Comedians were great! We chose anytime dining and we never waited to be seated but they were very slow getting the food to you. Burger joint was excellent! Recommended for those that are happy just to relax and don't need to be constantly entertained..

We were on the 9th floor and surprisingly had a spacious cabin with a large bathroom even though we took pot luck on wherever they wanted to put us. Others complained bathrooms were tiny on other floors.

Ship tip

Make a strong effort to keep your hands clean. I got sick and ruined a day and a half of my cruise. This goes for any cruise.

Try the carnival pride out of Baltimore we always sail on the pride friends just got back from the sunshine and said they won't go back on her for the same reason the pride always has something to do

We always cruise Carnival but this time were Cruising with RC. Then were returning to Carnival in May I wanted to take a grand boys on the harmony of the seas because they have the biggest waterslide and that's what they love the most I'm very much looking forward to going on the Vista
