Review summary

Had fun. Wish covid didn't happen. You could tell it affected the cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was on the ship quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The dining room was great food but repetitive. The pizza was always made sloppy and not cooked well. The deli was great just rude workers. The buffet was horrible this time around probably due to covid, as that is usually the excuse for everything else.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The comedy club was great. Funny guy for sure. The shows was great too. But every thing else was always closed and or shortened hours. Again probably due to covid, like everything else.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great and amazing

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
My granddaughter enjoyed the club, wish the hours were more convenient for the guests instead of the workers. But eh, probably due to covid.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was absolutely amazing. Only rude workers I encountered was at the pizza place and the deli place. Every single other worker on that ship was absolutely amazing and so sweet and kind. Our room steward was amazingly awesome.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Was very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Our cabin was great. But we got this special cabin ... the family harbor. And it was not worth the extra money for the family harbor lounge. The hours were so limited and short that any time they opened up, all the food would be gone within minutes and it was never refilled. The snacks they had in there was gross and gave my mother food poisoning the 2nd night

Ship tip

Cool ship, but I had so much more fun on the carnival freedom and Valor. But those cruises were both before covid so that could be the reason.
