Review summary

For a first cruise ever, it was great. I turned 60 on the cruise and my ship steward, along with Carnival, really treated me well with a couple of gifts. I truly enjoyed my experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Went smoothly!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining rooms, specialty restaurants, and buffets areas were always clean and well stocked; staff was always friendly and accommodating. For cruise ship food, not bad at all.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Bingo, casino, comedy club, shows, magic show, karaoke

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Great bands/musicians; stage shows were cute

Children's Programs

I was not accompanied by any children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All ship personnel was extremely nice, pleasant, accomodating, attentive and personable

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
But for the ship being one of the older ones, I would have said excellent; it was always clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Again, but for the ship being an older model, my room was comfortable, good size and always clean. I especially loved the different towel animals every day!

Ship tip

Ensure that they book any shore excursions through Carnival!!!
