Guy's Burger Joint

Pizzeria Del Capitano

we have been on other carnival ships and the pizza was good. this the pizza were dry and still had to wait in line. some times for 30 minutes because they didn't have any ready.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

most areas were clean

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

we were supposed to have the beds separated but they weren't. so eva our steward separated them later in the evening and didn't even vacuum where the beds were separated. there was paper and all sorts of things under there.

Ship tip

prepare to stand in lines for everything.

I have heard from a lot of people that the atrium and design of ship is weird. But that won’t influence our opinion of the ship. We will be on her in about 3 weeks. We have been on a couple cruises and yes you do have to wait a little for things. But that’s irrelevant. With 4000 people on board, you have to expect some slow lines.

Is there any kind of kid vacation place you won't wait in line at? Even grocery stores have lines you wait in. It's called life....get use to it.
