Review summary

Very good time. I have been on Carnival previously so it was a better experience on this occasion with more physical activities available. Great time.

Very fluid flow of traffic into the facility. Timely as possible. Granted access speedily as possible.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Very nice ship. Many issues resolved quickly but some problems regarded dinner seating were initially problematic but were resolved after the first night. Wait staff were very accommodating and ensured that our meals arrived in a timely fashion

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Lots of activities available and we were kept busy if you wanted to be busy. I and my daughter completed the obstacle course and skycourt activities were fun.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Cruise Director Matt was fun and entertaining but the shows/performers were a bit disappointing. I had better on my last cruise. But the Quest game was loads of fun.

Service and Staff

Very good job. My room steward, Koko, was very friendly.

Ship Quality

For a big ship it was hard to maintain but they did a good job. Serenity deck was a joy. No kids.....YES!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Next time I would purchase larger accommodations. But it was nice and the location on the lido deck was very great.

Ship tip

Make use of room service more after hours. I will always pick rooms on the Lido deck or higher. Take advantage of te Serenity deck, and always make sure to get to te sows early to get te good seats.
