Review summary

This was my first cruise. Everything was great. Only issue I had was I was charged for the water bottle I had from my cabin. Come to find out those were not included in the drink package which was and still is a little confusing. Additionally, the food from the Horizon restaurant was not the greatest. I expected more based on other people’s experience. I also was not aware of the everyday dinner dress code till I was on the boat. I had packed for the elegant nights as I knew about but never once saw anything about the casual nights having a dress code.

As I recall there is a tag on the bottles that state how much they cost. I was unsure if it was included so I asked our room steward...asking questions goes long way

Both the included/excluded in the Cheers package and the expected dress code for most venues including the Main Dining Rooms is explained in thd FAQ section of the Carnival website. Unless you booked through a face to face travel agent all research on what to expect and what to pack is all on the consumer, which is why each cruise line maintains extensive FAQ and ship's information pages on the web.
