Review summary

We had a good time because we love each other and can always have fun. Will pick a bigger ship next time with a serenity deck. Also, I would tell someone about my steward next time while on the ship.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The best ever. It to just under 5 mins to go through the boarding process. The were ready and moved everyone along easy and efficiently.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
I am never happy with the food on Carnival ships. I think it is below par and could be so much better with not adding cost. Even the burger joint I was looking forward to served burned burgers every time I went. The taco stand had food that tasted like someone threw up in the food.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
This was the first ship where I did not like the cruise dictator. He made no real memories for me and gave me nothing special to remember him by. They know they have repeat customers and they never change anything they do.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The only good thing was the Live orchestra. It had everything you would want. I love wind instruments and this band is the best. The Hungry hungry Honkers was their name. Also, Seth the comedian was good. The other was a very over weight woman who sat down her whole show and just was bad.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Our steward was never around. We never saw him. He forgot our water, coupons and only made us animals 2 days. Took our towels when we hung them up and only replaced some of them.
