Review summary

Best Carnival Cruise. Ship was fantastic and everyone on board was perfect. (Except some of the passengers) LOL. It is still tue Funships afterall.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Unless you do a back to back cruise, it is impossible to try all these restaurants. The food on this ship is next level. Best steakhouse at sea ever. The staff at every venue is friendly and knowledgeable! Be sure to try the chefs table.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Don’t get off the ship without trying Bolt. The first roller coaster at sea. It is worth the $15.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We loved this cabin. Very spacious suite. Only drawback for us was the balcony had no glass to see the ocean through.

Ship tip

Be sure to watch videos on how to work the bathroom doors. They can be confusing and hard to operate

Can you expand on the balcony comment. I assume you are talking about the wall which separates the room from the balcony, as all the pictures I have seen you have glass balustrades

Agree with the posters here, every cruise is what you make of it. Not all of the cruises I've taken have been stellar, but I found something to enjoy on every one of them. Cruising isn't for everyone, but it's definitely my happy place.

Yes , thank for the review , Dutch 3901 ,your right it does get old reading about people complaining about the smallest things , but there is always some , it will take time for cruising to return to how we used to know it to be , if it ever does, until then all we can do is make the best of it , vacation is exactly what you make of it , just remember it is getting away from everything for a few days and have as much fun as you can, worry about everything else that's going on when we get back , I have never had a bad cruise , only been on 4 cruises so far but all have been great , we have a cruise planned for July 2022 if nothing happens , got cancelled for our cruise last year due to covid , gotta try it again , so much fun

Thank you for the review and also for crediting Carnival for stepping up their game. I’m worn out from people complaining about the smallest things. Very refreshing… thanks again.
