Review summary

This is my 3rd cruise with Carnival. We were not disappointed! The ship was immaculate, the crew was amazing, and there was a variety of activities. We will be back!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was different than we have experienced in the past, but it was very efficient and quick!

Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We loved the variety of activities available! Karaoke became a favorite of a lot of the passengers this trip. Pools were always crowded so we didn’t go in them. Serenity Deck was very peaceful. The Fun Squad was wonderful! We really enjoyed the Duo who played the guitar and sang the old country songs! We wish there was more country music played on the ship, whether around the pools or one of the evening shows dedicated to the good ole country music (not the new, rocky stuff). Valerie, from the Fun Squad, sat down with us and asked questions about activities, what we like, what we would like to see or not see. It meant a lot to have someone sit down and actually listen to our opinions! She was so sweet!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Too much rock music and not enough country. We loved the Duo who played the guitar and sang. They were great!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I can’t say enough good about the staff!!!! All of them are amazing! Our room Stewart, Agus, did a great job keeping our room straightened and cleaned but he also went above and beyond by making our towel animals tailored to us! It was so fun coming into our room to see what he did! He always acknowledged us by our first names. I Wayan was just incredible! From the first night in the dining room, he knew our first names and made us feel like we were the most important people in the ship! I am sure every table felt the same! Putu was fun and attentive! Novi’s energy and smile made each dining experience something to look forward to! Every staff member was simply wonderful!
