Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Every single crew were very good with their jobs. Especially, Neil and Christine (228 and 229) from Horrizon restaurant. They made some memorable moments for the 2 bday celebrants in my family. Wayan and his crew on deck 8, left us with very cute never seen before towel animals. They always turned our messy cabins to a pleasant and welcoming cabin when we came back. My family and I thank them for a wonderful vacation experience. This was our first time cruising and they made it possible for us to want to cruise again and again. Thank you again and hope to see them again with our next cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I can’t believe how the crew members made sure every areas were well maintained and clean. I felt comfortable that Carnival is 110% committed to ensuring passengers well and safety. My only wish was, a pool at the serenity area or an adult only pool.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Excellent

Ship tip

There are so much activities to do and few my “adult kids” complained of headache and felt exhausted by day 2 from dehydration. I suggest have fun but don’t forget to hydrate, so it doesn’t ruin your cruising.

Tanya lied about the prices on the brand names at the shopping area. She was promoting to shop shop shop when we were in Aruba but the prices were ridiculous as well.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise and had a pleasant experience. The more you cruise with Carnival the more you advance on their tier status and can receive little perks like commemoration pins, lanyards, bottled water and a free cocktail.
