Review summary

I cant wait to go again. It was a great value for the money. It wasnt too crowded and the people were great. I loved the ship, it was so pretty. The food could be better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was okay, nothing to write home about. It was not really kid friendly. The drinks were great, but it would have been nice to have more staff serving by the pool.

We did the pool mostly, my kid loved it.

Disembarkation

It took such a long time to try to get something to eat and get off the ship. It was crazy, it needs to be better organized. Maybe have some breakfast foods available by the rooms so the elevators wont take too long.

Ive been on 6 Carnival cruises and have only used the MDR 3 or 4 times... Ive found the buffet (or one of the other free venues) to always have something I liked. Worse case if I wasnt crazy about what the buffet had, Id have some salad or soup and find there was always something someplace else... Cruising is great when you like to snack a lot! Lol

yeah.... Buffet was okay but nothing to get excited about... my opinion was that the MDR is the best way to go for dinner. The steak & eggs for breakfast during SeaDay brunch was very good.

just curious ... for the food did you eat at the MDR at dinner time? or at one of the other resturants. When I was on the carnival inspiration I always ate at the MDR. At least two nights I didn't like the main entree I ordered and had them replace it with a different entree. Not worrying about sending an item back was key for me. I always found something each night that I thought was really good.
