Review summary
This cruise just wasn’t up to par. I’m not a regular cruiser. I’ve talked to others and many felt the same. The food was sub par. Tasted the same regardless of what & where we ate. The alcohol too. The package allows you to drink all day & night but the alcohol is cheap. Barely felt like I was drinking. I have a 13 yr old, he met friends in the circle C club and had a blast! I barely saw him. My 19 yr old also made friends and hung out all night too. That I’m grateful for! I think the cruise was just too long for me. The staff was fantastic! Accommodating and always polite. Always cleaning! Our rooms cleaned daily. The comedy shows were the best! All the comedians were funny! Dance club was fun too! The cruise director was great! I have a lot of great things to say but I don’t think I’ll be cruising again. Oh and the kicker… both my son & I got covid on the ship. That’s not carnivals fault just the nature of the beast.Embarkation
