Review summary

We had several people in our group and we all enjoyed it. Several times we ate together and they were able to seat us together. Carnival is still one cruise line that I have enjoyed several times.

Embarkation

Took forever to get checked in and no air conditioner in the building. After that it went good.

Ship Quality

I have enjoyed some of the other Carnival ships better. My daughter picked this one. I just depends on what you like. Nothing was wrong with this one.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This is the first time we tried the balcony we usually have inside or window. It was not bad but we don't spend enough time in the room for extra money.

Ship tip

They had great choices on food. Was not over crowed.

Galveston, Texas

Port was crowed. Getting off and on takes forever, It can not handle that many people.

The boat getting back and forth took a while. Our excursion was late getting back but the ship waited.

If you travel with multiple rooms (friends or family) you can link your rooms before sailing and have the option to check-in for dining on app selecting who will be eating together. Everyone can still eat when they want but if you want to eat together everyone will be listed to select. It also works if you want set time dining and you will be sat at same table for whole cruise.

Great review. I see lots of comments about embarkation and debarkation. We have gone back to putting our luggage out in the hall the last night, instead of self-assisting. I found myself getting pissed off at rude, self entitled jerks and it was canceling out our relaxing vacation. Not worth it.
