Review summary

Ok cruise for first time cruisers. You will have fun and enough food you will find something you like to eat. Lido deck has lots of options. Seafood shack the best. Camp Ocean for kids is good. But wascrowded on our ship. Main dining room was good. Tend to overcook meats. Ship was clean. It had been updated . The usual stuff to do, trivia, few shows. Casino was ok. Even with all the people on board ship Was more laid back than otherCarnival cruises. Pools were jammed all the time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining room food was average. Most meats overcooked. Soups, salads and desserts were real good. Other then the seafood shack no speciality restaurant. The seafood shack had outstanding tempura shrimp. Paid 20.00 for lobster in main dining room it was overcooked. The seafood tower they had looked good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It's been updated so that was. Ice. It without more speciality restaurants it's an average ship. All it would take would be one burger place and a sushi place to bring it up a notch.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
I had a full handicapped cabin and the doors and room were big enough. The major drawback was you could not exit or enter the room while on a scooter without assistance!!! This meant youwsysjad tohave someone readily available to open The door. It definitely needs a handicapped opener than can be pushed after the person inserts their sign and sail card for both entry and exit. Basically trapped In your room on days in port when everyone gets off ship

Ship tip

Don't get your expectations up too high. It's an ok ship for first time cruisers.
