Review summary

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Restaurants were good dining room was good buffet left a little to be desired

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Started off slow with not much going on We did have some rain to deal with first few days last 2 days went much better shows we're good and seemed like plenty to do we didn't do any excursions so nothing to do on the boat at all during Port days with bad weather wished they would have had some activities for those that didn't want to risk the rain

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Comedy was awsome as usual shows were ok the voodoo moon show was awesome best of them all

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room steward was awsome bar tender Renato was great at the Havana bar definitely go see him makes best drinks on the boat

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean had no problems finding our way around the boat

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Inside Havana small but cozy worked just fine for 7 days. Beds are very firm stew did bring extra topper for the bed and made it alot better

Ship tip

Shame on carnival for not being up front with the extra running around and having to ask for everything they used to deliver to your stateroom they say because of covid but they had plenty of water in the room for sale they told me to get water from the bar they still charged me for bottled water so I think they must think most people will not do the extra running around and asking for the stuff we are used to having in our cabin

Appreciate your feedback. Yes it’s frustrating to do a scavenger hurt for the perks, but at least they are still available. After reading the reviews (including yours) not sure I even want to try this ship. Glad you enjoyed your cruise in spite of the weather.

Glad you enjoyed it. I believe the information for the VIFP rewards is on their website and in the emails sent by Carnival.
