Review summary

I enjoyed exploring the ship and seeing all its features. The Atrium was an interesting place with its performances and it's central colorful, beautiful column, which changed designs daily. The buffet was very accessible, and I could always find a seat. There could be more signage to find your way around more efficiently!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I checked in at the airport so when we got off the bus, someone was there to collect our bags and we got to just bypass the huge line and go right to security and get on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The pork chops were way overcooked and difficult to cut! The prime rib was good, but very thin. The rest of the food was good.

Onboard Activities

I took this cruise to ride the SkyTrack, but it was broken for the entire cruise. I studied the ropes course and saw there was one section where you had to balance on a single rope like a tightrope walker. I knew I could not do the one section so I couldn't go on the rope course. There is not enough swimming space on the ship for the almost 4,000 people and no adult pool so kids were jumping on us. I know there were adult hot tubs, but I need exercise in the pool.

Skytrack

It wasn't working the whole time of the cruise! I heard it was missing a part! Those parts should be kept onboard. I was very disappointed.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The stage shows were very good! I do not like the game shows. They had a game show for thirty minutes before the first night's stage performance. It put me in a bad mood.

Ship tip

Check in at the Carnival desk at the airport so you can be expedited getting on board. Don't count on the sky track to be working.
