Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was fine in dining rooms and at buffet on Lido Deck. Extreme difficulty, however, in linking dining room seating with another family for dinner each night, even tho requested in advance on HUB. Long wait time every night after ontime arrival, per the app.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Spa seminar was informative.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Musical and comedy shows were excellent. Wish they had been one hour long in lieu of 30 minutes. String trio was outstanding.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Brendan (of the dining staff) is an outstanding ambassador for Carnival - friendly, attentive, excellent service, helpful, etc. He deserves a reward by Carnival management. Jan, our cabin steward, was also attentive, pleasant, and performed his tasks diligently.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
High rating for comfort, size and cleanliness of cabin. Problem with flushing toilet was resolved promptly. Jan should be commended for his service.
