Review summary

Very relaxing and fun. Will do again. I was surprised and feel like Carnival has stepped it up. We had booked this to take our 2 adult daughters with a limited time frame. This ship and ports worked for us. Everything from the cabin, food and entertainment was a pleasant surprise.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

So much better than ever before.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

I never do the buffets. The main dining rooms were really good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The shows were good. The pools could have been better. One of them was closed, liked the adult deck but was always crowded.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Very good.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

I could tell some cut backs in room stewards but this is not a problem. We got everything we needed in a timely manner.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Seemed to be an older ship but had been redone and was very nice and clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was excellent. Size was good and I always recommend doing the balcony, well worth the money.

Ship tip

Always do the main dining even at breakfast, had some really nice surprises such as filet and eggs for breakfast. If you go on a short cruise, just take your luggage on and off the ship yourself, this makes it so easy with no waiting.
