Review summary

Any time I go on a cruise is a good time and this cruise was extra special as my future son in law will be deploying over seas for a year and we wanted to do something special for him and our daughter. The kids had a great time as they have never been on a Carnival Cruise, but my husband and I both were not impressed with the ship at all.  The beds were extremely hard, the shows were not good at all and our room was next to the speakers to the show room. Also the last day on the ship I had food poisoning as well and many others did as well. I also wasn't happy that to lock or use the safe you had to use a credit card and not a key pin. One of the reasons I use the safe is to lock my credit card up.

 

It wasn't all bad, the ports were nice and there was 2 military recognition events as well that were very nice. Our room steward was amazing as well as our dining staff and disembarking at the end of the cruise was fast and easy.  

 

I am used to an amazing time when I sail Carnival, I was a little disanointed in this cruise.

Ship tip

Stay away from the front of the ship from the 2nd floor to the 7th floor or you will be attending the shows in the showroom with out even having to leave your room.

I believe you can still get eggcrate mattresses on Carnival. If you go on them again ask for one.

I wouldn't, brother law did and it erased everything and had to go get a new one. An old gift card orvoutdated credit card works fine.

you don't have to use a credit card. Use an old gift card it works, I use one every trip we've been on including the Victorym. I wouldn't use my sign and sail card or any card with a magnet strip on that back that you currently use. It could erase vital information that's embedded in the strip.
