Review summary

My fiancee and I have cruised with GB, RCC and NCL. This was my first cruise with Carnival, and it will more than likely be my last. Complete disorganization at embarkation, 3 hr delay for FTTF (but they did credit us with OBS), the waiting lines at the eating facilities on Deck 9 were ridiculous. I feel as though Carnival has no flow on board, no organization and not nearly enough staff, and activities for the amount of guests on the ship at any given time.

The food was delicious but waiting in line at the non-dinning room facilities was a nightmare.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was great, our steward was also great. Location of this room wasn't for us. Every time we got down to the 2nd floor, it reaked of fecal matter smells.

Ship tip

Guy's Burgers was worth the wait!!
