Review summary

Wonderful cruise! I cannot wait for my next one! The cruise director, Schwartz was fantastic! The ship 🚢 was beautiful and had great outside area.

Embarkation

Great experience! Easy embarkation! The only problem was getting up to our rooms in a timely fashion due to elevator delays.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

I loved all the foods on the ship.

Onboard Activities

I enjoyed playing football, shuffleboard, and bean bags with the family at Redfrog Pub.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
On my 18th anniversary night, my husband and I enjoyed the smooth sounds of Sweet Soul Six after a fabulous dinner. We enjoyed their classy renditions of soul from the decades. My family enjoyed them almost every night on the cruise. The Limelight Lounge's Karoke and club night were fun. I rocked out with the 80's on the Lido Deck.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
I wished there were more activities for our teenagers. The IMAX theatre had up to date movies and the arcade helped keep them occupied most of the time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
In the dining room, my family received great service from Ronald. One sea day, the service was a little slow in the Horizon dining room. When I let Ronald know, he immediately started assisting us and began to take our order. He is from Peru and quickly became our favorite waiter in the dining room. He served us in the dining room several times. He is very attentive and we really appreciated his service. He made sure we had everything we needed always. Thank you, Ronald! Ronald made our experience dining fabulous! Thank you Ronald and Carnival! Also, Our room steward, Ryan was wonderful and took great care of our room.
