Review summary

I loved the check in and out. Very quick and organized. I wish the ship would have been more hyped in terms of providing more excitement. The casino was small and uninviting. The places we visited where the cruise stopped at were absolutely lovely, fun and perfect! The excursion to the Good Hope place in Jamaica was a great experience and super fun! We are planning to go again with Royal (different ship) next year but hope to find a better casino, more fun at the main deck and taste delicious food/desserts if we choose table service. Thank you.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffets were great! Dining room went once and done. Food was ok not great and didn't like we were forced to eat with strangers. Desserts were small in the buffets and not that delicious as the food.

Onboard Activities

Overall it was fine.. I found odd the adult pool was always closed early at night though. Not good.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Carnival Cruise line is an ongoing PARTY on the main deck. This cruise was a funeral compared to it. Skating show was phenomenal though. Internet service was expensive! Bummer.

Service and Staff

Was on the sailing right before this and did not have this experience. Btw if you don’t want to sit at a table with strangers in the main dining room choose my time dining! 😉
