Review summary

My family really enjoyed the Carnival Cruise. The next time we come we will have many more family members. This was the first time the kids were old enough to remember the cruise. I liked the fact there were clubs for the kids. The food was great and plentiful. The room was very comfortable. I look forward to another great cruise in the future.

My niece and I spent time together after dinner to enjoy the Dive movies. A very relaxing setting and I enjoyed all the movies on the large outdoor screen.

The kids enjoyed Club 02. There were activities , movies, music and dancing. My kids were the last back to the room.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My waiter Yoga, was the best. He made sure we were satisfied with our dinner or he would replace it with something else. He was so kind and he knew everyone's name. Eduardo our room steward was fantastic! The room was always nice with those cute towel animals, which I enjoyed seeing on returning to a clean room. He also knew our names and always spoke when he saw us. I appreciated his friendliness.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout was great and there were always crew members constantly cleaning. I thought everything was spectacular.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I was impressed on how comfortable the beds were. When we first entered the room there were 2 twin beds, so I was going to figure out how 4 of us would sleep, but after returning to the room there were 2 twin beds above the 2 floor beds, boy was I happy. Everyone enjoyed their own bed! The room was very clean with plenty of bath towels. The water was always nice and hot.
