Review summary

Like I always say we are never going to let things ruin our cruise things happen and nothing is always gonna be perfect. It’s a million things that I could complain about on land but it is what it is. we enjoy cruising and absolutely love carnival and will continue to cruise with them.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
No issues got on very quickly…

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was ok but wasn’t great but I look at this way I’m not cooking all I’m doing is walking up there to eat can’t beat that. I would rather go to the dining room to get served though.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The activities seem to be bunched together as far as the times and you can’t go to everything because some of the events be at the same time. Shows were good.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The DJ’s were awesome they kept the dance floor packed. Shows were good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Great review and I agree about the hand washing. I was just on the Carnival Panorama and they had a self washing station as you entered the buffet area. Sadly very few used it.

One last thing I wanted to add my wife and I are firm believers in keeping our hands cleaned either by washing them with soap and water or hand sanitizer. Let me tell you outside of my wife and I we only seen one other couple clean their hands with hand sanitizer before touching the plates or utensils to make food. For me I think everyone should wash their hands before making food. I seen it all this cruise from people picking their noses, scratching their hair, picking their butts, coughing in their hands and after all that still going right in and making plates. But again I didn’t let that ruin my cruise but my goodness.
