Review summary

First cruise. Embarkation and debarkation were flawless. Loved our balcony room. Most of the staff went above and beyond especially Blessing. It’s definitely family orientated. If you want a seat at the serenity deck get there early. People love to save seating. The food is mediocre. Wished there were more choices. They absolutely need to put a pop machine on the ship!!! Please Carnival!! Getting to the bar to get a pop was the hardest thing we had to do. They have a swipe for beer, please add soda!! And ice on the decks would be nice as well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Liked Guys Burgers and the Italian restaurant. The rest was mediocre at best

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Something to do all the time. The pools however were always crowded so have to get there super early or not use them. The comedy club was fun. Mostly it seems everyone is at a bar at night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our steward Blessing made our trip. He was professional, courteous, and always went the extra mile. Could not thank him enough. The MDR staff was okay. Could see a staff member (waiter) cough without covering his mouth around all the patrons and food. (Not cool). Also, the service desk left our acct open and had a transaction happen to our acct that shouldn’t have. We had to go back to the service desk to have it taken care of. Adam, our Cruise Director was awesome as well. Miss his morning chats.

We went to Atlantis and walked the property  Awesome beaches and aquariums  Would definitely do again! From the aquarium  Great place to visit Beautiful island  If you want away from the hustle and a lot of people go to the right side of the beach  Trust me on this!
