Review summary

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The Maitre D' was amazing. My husband had to cancel at the last minute because of work, I understand not being reimbursed for his fare but they made me pay for his alcohol package even though he wasn't there to drink....seems petty on their behalf.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The shows were on a very small stage and the entertainers were not that good. The director was great.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

I would have given 4 stars but Jocelyn at the front desk was so rude, to multiple people. Iris was very friendly but the experience with Jocelyn left a VERY bad taste.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

You could not get to the dinning room with out going up to floor 5 and then down to floor 3. They had multiple elevators not in use so we saw many people in wheelchairs that could not go to dinner.

Cabin / Stateroom

I agree. We have been on a cruise and some elevators were down for short periods. The staff onboard went out of their way to wheel my husband to dinner and even treated us to the steakhouse. While this was not expected, we certainly appreciated their efforts and generosity. Carnival staff is great. Don’t let one unfriendly staff member bother you. There is always someone else around with a great attitude to assist.
