Review summary

9 out of 10 cruise. Dining service and front desk not what I have come to expect from carnival.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
30 minutes from hotel, checked in, and in the room in less than 1 hour. Very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
After 18 cruises with carnival, the food was really good compared to the last couple of cruises. Any time dining service was really slow. This was a dissapointment.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Always something to do, if you want something to do.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were good. Not a fan of the bright lights hitting me in the face in the theater.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Some issues with front desk over a prepaid room item. Room steward was good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It's a nice ship. Perfect for the new England cruises. Main pool is smaller which might not work well fir a carribbean cruise. Outside of that, she pretty much is a normal cruise ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Rear aft cabin. Extra size balcony. Also let's you participate in the terrazzo amenities. Nice and pleasant surprise.

Ship tip

It's a nice ship. Make your vacation as good as you choose.

Cabot trail is a must to see.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Have always taken carnival shuttle to airport. Getting off was quick. No direction or sights to let you know which bus to go to. Not carnival like.
