Review summary

The good-staff and other passengers friendly, beautiful ship with lots to do. The bad is 2 days after getting off ship I tested positive for Covid. I am fully vaccinated but feel that mandatory use of Hand cleaning, especially in food venues would be prudent.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship is new so looks clean but it tables we’re not cleaned quickly in between passengers

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Was a cove balcony, nice room but very small bathroom and balcony

Ship tip

My one tip is don’t go in buffet, no enforcement of hand washing and you serve yourself so everyone is touching same utensils.

Thanks for your review, so sorry you got covid and hope you recover quickly. Not good for Carnival to not enforce sanitizing protocol.

I agree, Carnival could enforce guest hand sanitizing protocols more. I've never seen so many people walk by the hand sanitizers at the dining room and buffet entrances. Seems like handwashing is treated as only a suggestion 🤔
