Enjoyable, memorable. A lot of work went into our cruise experience. Food was overall excellent. Hated how so much food went to waste with certain Cruise passengers. Didnt care for how nicotine smoke smell would waft out the Casino into the Java Blue Cafe and Ocean Plaza at times.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Pretty well done, esp with FTTF and other status groups
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
It took effort to find ways to utilize Bottomless Bubbles, like an extra step. Self Serve Beer Tap on Lido was never operational. Library Bar Wine Machines was never operational. Would have been nice to have more 'Free Cold Beverages' on Lido than Water and Lemonade.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Well done. Trivia contests well run. Skycourse fun and always room to start an activity.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Great musical act with Choreography and Visual effects being impressive. Acts were always promptly starting and finishing on time.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
Camp Ocean well run with Counsellors very comfortable working with kids and keeping them busy and engaged.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Room Attendants, food servers behind the scenes folks and waitstaff always with a smile and attempt to learn our names. The real strength of this cruise are these people!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Design was fine, some narrow parts of ship where easier to have a delay when people stop in the middle of the corridor. Sunset restaurant (or Sunrise) is out of the way. Most of ship clean.
Toilet has a sewage smell when passive (which is odd!). Ventilation of ship could use more Dehumidification (if possible). Floor of balcony could be cleaner.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We got a Balcony room. Again, toilet emanated a sewage smell passively whenever the lid stayed open. Floor of balcony could be better cleaned and maintained.
Wish the drop off from our excursion wasnt in the middle of downtown so far from where the ships were. Lot of aggressive locals, including someone who tried to tie the 'free bracelet' on one of my family members without being asked. Nice of Carnival to greet us with a water tent right outside our entryway back onto the Sunshine!
