Review summary

Really enjoyed being papered and spoiled. I enjoyed the shows but they were pretty risque and mostly not appropriate for children. The first day was pretty crowded and not very organized and I wasn't sure if I would like it, but after the first day I loved it.

Embarkation

A little disorganized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The main dining rooms were fantastic and service can't be beat. Guys burgers was awesome! The other food we tried was good also. I was not a fan of the crowds.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The pools were small and too crowded. The outdoor movies were nice but they appealed more to men and kids as they were mostly super hero movies.

Service and Staff

Our waiters and room steward were top notch. The other ships personnel were friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Some places were a little too crowded for my liking. The buffet and food areas were very crowded. Also on embarkation day, everyone was crowded on the 3rd deck. There was no one to announce where to go or what to do.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Comfortable and clean

Ship tip

Carnival is more of a party scene, so if you're into that you would like it a whole lot. While that is not my thing, I still enjoyed it tremendously and will plan on going again soon.
