I have been on 5 cruises, all of them with Carnival, and I couldn't be happier! I've never had a negative experience and any issues I may have encountered have ALL appeared to be due to other cruise passengers and their lack of social skills/personal hygiene/general entitlement. The personnel on Carnival Cruises ALWAYS go above and beyond. They are friendly, courteous, respectful and eager to assist with whatever you may need. I can't wait for my next vacation cause it will DEFINITELY be with Carnival!

Fast and efficient, hardly any wait time.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
As has always been my experience, food and drinks on Carnival are WONDERFUL! My only complaint was that our Chef's Table experience was booked for our day in Cozumel so we didn't get to stay long in port. It would be better to schedule these kinds of dinners for the "fun day at sea" or just the last night as it was an amazing experience and would be a great way to end a trip.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Adults only area? Yes please! Nice and relaxing. Felipe was a wonderful Cruise Director, all the events were well timed and loads of fun! Had a blast!
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Great music (especially Gilbert in the Piano bar) and the comedian always gives a great show.
Children's Programs
no kids with me on this trip
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All personnel were friendly, courteous and very attentative. Loved our steward, Amrit, he always had a smile and our cabin always looked flawless! Cruise Director, Felipe, what can I say? I'm in awe...all of the activities appeared to run seamlessly and he was a great bundle of energy. (Give them both a raise!)
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Spotless. And considering how many people were on board, that is a phenomenal accomplishment.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Only complaint was the walk area from the doorway to the room. It was a little on the narrow side, but then I'm a little on the fat side so it's probably just an issue on my part. Otherwise, perfectly fine on size and the cleanliness was great.
We did the Coral Gardens Snorkel,Lunch & Tequila tasting excursion. HIGHLY recommend this one. Would have liked to stay longer in port but were scheduled for our Chef's Table experience on this day so we didn't get to explore as much as we would have liked.
