It was our first cruise so we don’t have anything to compare it too. For the most part yes we had a great time. Already booked another carnival cruise.

Review summary

The only issue I have is the soda issue, and there were way too Many times the elevators wouldn’t work. Or several Of them wasn’t in service. Made the wait a lot longer for trying to get here and there. Unless out Of service seriously. All the elevators need to work at all Times.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was great. Definitely don’t like that sodas aren’t included with free drinks. And I can do without soda if I have sweet tea. But the tea was unsweetened. And adding sugar to cold tea is not the same as sugar added when it’s warm. We did take a case of drinks but ran out and then had to purchase can drinks at $2.00 each . I own a store and sell can drinks at $1.00 each and still make a good profit.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Never got in the pools it was too cold. I never seen a rock climbing wall. And I never seen the fitness center but I know it was there.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The love music I heard everywhere was great. The shows were great. I knew there was a DJ but I never laid him much attention.

Children's Programs

I didn’t have kids with me on the cruise so I don’t. Even know if any activities going on for the kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I love how all the workers do what they do with a smile on their face and seems like they worked around the clock. I’m sure they took shifts.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

I think it’s a beautiful boat. Glad my floor was already remodeled. I could tell it was up for an upgraded look. Always clean or being cleaned

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Everything seemed perfect, clean, size was great and plenty. Only thing I’m Concerned about the phone charger plug in between the beds. Seems like that might cause a fire hazard at some point and time.
