Review summary

I had the free drinks while playing in the casino, in the first 5 days while playing in the casino, I was never asked by bar staff if I wanted a drink. At one point I got up and went to the bar and asked if I could get one of my free drinks. He advised me that I would have to be playing and order it from a server. I never got a drink from my free casino drinks and refused to go back into the casino the last two days.

Embarkation

Terminal was very nice, but needs carpet or ceiling to bring down the echo and noise. We could not hear the announcements being made.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We thought the food was good. It was always hot and tasted good. The MDR was fast the first two nights, but then we moved to anytime which is what we originally signed up for. Once we got to anytime dining, the servers were very nice, but it turned into a 2 hour dinner.

Chibang!

The waiters were very good and the food was excellent. Be careful, they have a lot of spicy food.

Cabin / Stateroom

We loved our Aft balcony cabin, room was a little smaller than usual, but still loved it.

Ship tip

Book all your specialty restaurants prior to boarding. We wanted to go to the Japanese restaurant and could only get noon for lunch, we ended up canceling it.

Disembarkation

I know a lot of people including our friends were still onboard after we had disembarked and drove all the way home to Tampa. Not sure what happened, but we got right off as Diamond members.

Thanks for your review. Something kind of similar happened to me on one of my cruises with carnival. Once I got soda drink package and whenever in a show or the comedy club unless I went to the bar I could not get my drink. They would come and take my order but never come back with my coke. It was a 6 day cruise and because of this I had 2 sodas so that package wasn't worth the money so I no longer get the soda package.

Hmm, something off on this one. Been on 3 cruises the last few months and non-stop people are coming around taking drink offers.
