Review summary

Nice 5night Cruise over the new year. Busy ship. Bit noisy in public areas ie pool area in particular. Gym/spa very nice. Weather was good so we enjoyed great sunrises and sunsets from our cabin balcony. Ship is clean and staff are friendly. In the Main restaurant the food buffet served luke warm food but restaurants good and menu choices better. We enjoyed the trip but wouldn’t be rushing back.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Plenty of delicious food but if you were vegan or vegetarian the choices weren’t great except for salads etc Main breakfast and lunch restaurant were busy and good in buffet was often cold or Luke warm. Typical American food choices and not a lot of healthy options.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The Gym & the classes were fab. But the main pool had huge amount of noisy activities as did the ship in general. Maybe this ship was more suited to families with young children etc

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Noisy! Loud! Not my cup of tea! I’d like something more elegant and classy

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

All staff friendly and helpful but were unable to get us a coffee machine for our room which I would think ought to be in every room. They got us a kettle with tea bags! Some how not the same for us.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship very clean. Nice lay out. Some areas need doing up/modernization as do some cabins

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Comfortable bed. Comfortable room but tight between main door and wardrobe and toilet area. (Old fashioned) shower curtain in bathroom but good space for storage etc hot water plentiful. Everything clean and sparkling. Unfortunately No coffee maker in room which was disappointing. Drinks bar not included in drink package which is ridiculous. Nice balcony but needs doing up as glass panel looking a bit old & tired.

Ship tip

Don’t bother with WiFi package as it doesn’t work well. Pay the extra for good cabin.

Red Bridge beer (Gluten Free) would be a plus for me & others! Please try to have it for March 9- 14! Made by Budweiser!

I do t know if any ships have coffee pots, the warmer (ie: hot plate) in my understanding draws too much electricity and can be unsafe if left unattended, same reason they’re not allowed in dorms (learned in prep for my college aged daughter named Lainey 😊). You can order a pot of coffee to your room via calling room service or using the hang tag for breakfast, we enjoy this.

Thanks for your recent review. Have sailed Celebrity often but have not been on this ship in years. Interested in recent cruisers' opinions. We sail in mid-March.

Try Celebrity. It is more elegant. Carnival is a party ship.
