Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I felt like the good in the MDR was a hit and miss. The quantities were good but the overall quality sometimes lacked and tended to be bland .

There was something for everyone.

Entertainment

The musical talent was exceptional on this ship.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Hard working, professional staff. They were friendly and accommodating.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very clean and inviting. My only qualm is that the atrium and fun shop areas smell like second hand cigarette smoke from the casino. It needs better ventilation.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Typical carnival cabin. The shower is enclosed which is so much better than just a curtain. Our room steward was patient and kind.

Ship tip

1. Get in line early for the shows especially the comedians. 2. Make sure you have clean, crisp bills. We had problems with vendors not accepting our cash that had any creases, tears or wear. It was frustrating.
