Review summary

Had a blast on this trip! Like any vacation there are ups and downs, but would do the same thing again in a heart beat!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was alright, tons of people in line, cramped, but the line moved fairly quickly. The worse line was the Medical line but the Verifly app made it a breeze.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was typical, nothing to get excited over. Best meals were had at the complimentary Pasta bar, and Mongolian wok at lunch on 11 aft.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The ship has 2 pools on lido, and another in Havana area, didn’t get in the pull as both were full of kids, would like for the aft one to be adults only, but that’s neither here, nor there as it didn’t affect me enough to worry.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Awesome DJs onboard with a large variety of music. Enjoyed deal or no deal; serenity nights after the mega deck party was underwhelming. The Fun ship meetup was pretty fun.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward was excellent, deck 11 was hard to get a drink on the first day or so then got a little better the rest of the trip. Savannah cruise director was great! Also Carlos was good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
4 for the cleanliness, 3 for the design. The design is different than other carnival ships, and was confusing at times. Liquid lounge is the worse. Normal moveable chairs with no tables for drinks or bingo cards. They removed the casino bar, so that slows things way down.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Typical inside room, connecting room. Pretty quiet, and cold. I love it cold so it was perfect. I’m usually warm on the ship. Would recommend this room since it’s at the middle elevators.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Slowest disembarkation I’ve seen, very unorganized and hectic. Crew made the best of it, but all crew were not informed of who should be where, making us go back and forth when we were right all along.

We were on the Vista the voyage just before you. We loved Savanah and Carlos as well! And, I agree; the liquid lounge is awful. Thanks for sharing your review!
