Review summary

Our first carnival cruise. Overall a very nice time. Could revamp the stage shows. Ok food but need more open hours. Wait staff, photographers and housekeeping were very friendly. Amazing massages. Disappointed that the hot tubs (especially in the adult area) weren’t warmer. Camp Ocean was great. We had a nice time.

Disappointed in food. I feel like every time I was hungry not much was open. The variety was just ok. Tacos and deli window were delicious.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Comedians were hilarious. DJ seemed to play a lot of the same songs over the 4 days. Didn’t love the stage shows I saw, good performers but the quality of show was lacking.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Children’s area was wonderful. Kids never wanted to leave. Open until 1am so the adults were able to have fun. The staff was very friendly.

Service and Staff

Everyone in the spa was amazing. Best massage I’ve ever had. Couldn’t find one friendly bar tender though. Room service was always nice.

A WONDERFUL location next to the spa with very little foot traffic. Beautiful views. The smell of feces in the bathroom was disgusting though. I don’t know where the smell was coming from but it was foul and it forced us to stay out of the room as much as possible. Really gross. Husband cut his hand trying to get the balcony door to stay shut.
