Sailabration was a great disappointment. A major bust by Carnival.

Carnival definitely didn’t deliver on this cruise. We still had a great time. Beautiful ship. Lots of room for improvement. It was the largest amount passengers since the restart and they were not prepared. I’m sure it will get better.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Chibang!
Food and service was great. Tables were so close together that when people were seated there butts were on you table. Not even 6”of space for to pass threw. Not all tables were this way.
Lido Marketplace
Lido food quality definitely could be improved. Not enough staff to keep tables clean. Staff worked extremely hard but are so understaffed.
Emeril’s Bistro 1396
The food was excellent when you could get it. Service was better early in the week. Just couldn’t get food out of the kitchen. Our food was never served together, someone in our family was always waiting for food to be served. At the end of the week I waited 1.5 hrs on dessert that was ordered and paid for with dinner. I asked for a refund so I could leave but server didn’t seem to understand. He just kept saying 15 more minutes. Guest were constantly complaining to servers about missing food items. We ate there several times because it was new and the food was so good. Definitely room for improvement. I would still recommend you try it. I’m hopeful they will improve.

Ship tip
Take your patience with you. Get to activities early. Try to go to specialty restaurants at off peak times. Try to be kind the staff is so overwhelmed.
