Too many people

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Beware food is undercooked or raw, small portions, dining room under staffed so long wait to eat, not a big selection like before.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

N/A

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Comedians were good, but the shows were like high school productions, need better, musicians and Dj were really good

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

beside our room steward, not to many happy faces on this ship, staff looks tired and moody.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Hated the dining room layout, use to open areas, this ship is different from all other Carnival ships I have been on.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

beside obstructive view, the room was big and I have to say the most storage IE closet space we have had.

Ship tip

It's going to feel like a training ship, unfortunately I have to sail on it again in August and never again, send it back to Italy.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

look into a resort for a day, well worth it.

Thumbs Up 2

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5

get there early if you want a lounge chair on the beach, over crowded.

Thumbs Up 0

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5

again get there early so you can get a chair, and the buffet not great at all, and PS you CAN NOT use you drink package on their private island, sad

So very disappointing

Overcrowded, understaffed. Long lines, food should have been better.

Not a FUN Carnival ship
