Review summary

Going on cruise for first time was great! I felt the tour packages we bought through Carnival did not give enough guidance in what to expect for tour. We were most disappointed in the bar staff by the pool. Not friendly and ignored you for as long as they could. Most of the bat staff did not smile or acknowledge you until they had too.
