Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was for the most part bland. The deserts were not as good as I have on other curise lines. The selections of offerings was adequate. The selection for food from room service was very limited.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Carnival knows how to party. I had fun from Bingo to Trivia to Karoke. My husband also won at the Casino.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

The rating of the staff was hit or miss; some were excellent and some were poor.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The layout was good and easy to get around in but the sports bar needs updating desperately.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The size of the room was great. We had a balacony and there was good storage space.

3 out of 5

I enjoyed the port of St Thomas. I ranked it #3 of the 5 ports we visited. Good scenery and good shopping.

I enjoyed this the best and ranked it #1 of the 5 ports we visited. The oldest church on the island and the Sudbury House were interesting. We had lunch in town Mustor's Restaurant; great fried chicken and flying fish.
