Elizabeth was great. Very funny and entertaining

Onboard Activities

Wanted to try Sky Ride and was told it was a private party for employees only while in Jamaica port. Won’t waste my money with Carnival again

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Service in MDR and lounges was slow. Lame entertainment. Marketplace food was blah. Not great selections. Don’t take elegant clothes because they aren’t gonna abide by dress code. Disrespected.

You must missed a few cruises in your profile, only 5 and that don't give you VIP treatment unless you paid for a suite. Just was on the Vista in March, loved everything about it. Larger ship more people, a little longer waiting time for somethings. Why complain you're on vacation and hopefully with a special person, which should have made those times that was slow special. But it you complained to them like you did in this review, you probably made it miserable for them. Relax enjoy life, it's short and don't even let anyone or anything spoil your vacation. Happy cruising who ever you cruise with, then I'm sure you'll find something wrong with them also.
