Review summary

We enjoyed our cruise with the exception of the stateroom size. We will get an Ocean View Stateroom next time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

We stood in line for quite a while.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food and drinks were great. There were too many food locations to try in seven days.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There are many activities to choose from, something for everyone.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The entertainment was very good with the exception of how loud it was.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Our grandchild loves the activities that were offered.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The Carnival staff is always great.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship overall is great. However, for a larger ship, the staterooms seemed to be smaller. The bathroom was much smaller with the exception of the shower.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was comfortable but smaller than the same class stateroom on the smaller ships. Our stewards were great at taking care of us and our room.

Ship tip

The Ocean View Staterooms seem to have more room. I would pick that type of room when I sail again.

I’ve heard that the cabins are smaller on this larger ship. I guess bigger isn’t always better. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise.
