First time cruiser, loved it, how ever there on board events were not spaced out very good if you went to one and wanted to see another you either lost 20 min to a half hour or you missed 20 min to a half an hour times ran in to one another

Review summary

Was an experience I'm glad I got to do. It was a little long so next time if there is one I would only go for a week.

Embarkation

I was in a wheel chair and they just rushed me by my embarkation photo so I did not get one same with my Mother we were very disappointed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Our designated dining room was not what I thought it should be the food portions were so small it just wasn't enough. Never returned.

The children were managed poorly by adult supervision, broke croquet mallets, smashed ping pong balls, very out of control.

And we like two+ weeks (won’t turn down a week though). Note: I usually get 2 or 3 appetizers, 2 or 3 salads/soups, and depending on the entrees, one to three. And I am only 6’1”, 230 lbs. Next time keep ordering until you are full, just do not waste it unless you do not like it. Waiters are (so far) very understanding and aim to please.

I can understand that! We just got off a 13 nts cruise on the Carnival Sunshine. I think we are going back to seven days.

Aged but not to be missed
