Review summary

Honestly, we had fun, however none of the carnival part of the experience was good at all, most of the staff was rude, the food was terrible, and carnival has gotten greedy and cheap!

Embarkation

1 out of 5
The ship was late and we had to haul our suitcases all over Florida without a car because we flew there for the cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Horrible food and the drink package was a waste because even when there was no one in line you still had to wait at least 20 minutes for your drink

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
We love cruising especially for the shows, this ship’s entertainment was terrible! I’ve heard better singing from a country karaoke bar!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
As mentioned above the entertainment was not good, and I’m basing my opinion on 9 other cruise experiences 7 with carnival! Even the comedy shows were not great

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
My son loves the kids club…. Usually, but he said the “teachers were mean to him” and they weren’t friendly with the parents either!

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Even in the dining room we waited 25-30 just to get water after we were seated, dinner would take at least 1&1/2 because of all the waiting! And the wait staff acted like just ordering food was a burden for them!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The only friendly staff we had was our room attendant! He was kind and thorough!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
It was fine

Ship tip

Honestly I don’t know if I will ever sail with carnival again! So it wouldn’t be a good recommendation

Carnival Corp are not even subtle with their changes anymore. Agree with the poor entertainment, they dont want to pay the fees for talent anymore. Food no better than average, and year on year they are taking more away. A cruise experience use to be worth saving for, not so sure now!
