Overall a great experience. I own stock in Carnival and think you are doing a great job. I brought 11 family members with me on this cruise and they all had a great time, some of them were first time cruisers, others like RCL.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Guys burgers excellent as usual. Guys BBQ was okay, food was cold. We ate at the anytime dining, the first night it took an hour and 15 minutes to seat us. We were a table of 12, and I know that makes it more complicated but that is too long.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great ... but you need some color in the singing / dancing shows. No black singers / dancers looks weird ... especially doing Motown and one dancer wearing a fake afro.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waitstaff Alexander and Petar were amazing. I have done 18 trips now and these guys are amongst the very best.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Brand new ship. I really liked the design. But men's bathrooms by the Lido were consistently disgusting.

My first time here ... beautiful Island and people you should add to more Itineraries if possible. How about spending a night at this port and making it a sole destination?

In my experience, the first day of any cruise is always hectic. Everybody shows up at the same time for everything. The only time we have to wait to be seated is the first night. After that, no waiting, no crowds.

Glad you had a good cruise. We have always done the anytime dining and never waited that long. We have a cruise on the Vista in July and this time there will be 8 of us! I hope we don’t have to wait that long... I guess I’ll try to get my group to head to dinner earlier. 😎
