Review summary

Would not recommend this cruise. I'm a gold member Should be platinum as I was cruising long before they started counting. And we usually cruise at least once a year some in the party more times a year for the last over 25 years. This was a nice ship but one of my biggest dissappointments.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Ship was very late we had to disabled people in the group . The standing was unbearable. Several fellow cruise people appeared to need medical attention. So much chaos.d to

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Sat behind a wall booth unable to see any dining entrtainment. One menu four nine people. Food cold and too salty.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Variety of activities around the ship. On 12/9 I paid for a photo upload and never received it.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The two show I saw was good. Could have had a more diverse cast but, good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room service very friendly and to some degree accomodating, my roommate was disabled and couldnt always leave the room. The wait staff was "terrible" as stated one menu for nine people she was cordial not friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Beautiful ship room was not as clean as other carnival ships Ive been on. I attrivuted that to the mad rush staff may have had due to the lateness of the ship docking.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
I complained to guest services about the fackt that I was living out of my suitcase . The room was designed for families as it was joining someone elses room no dresser. My luggage lock was lost by TSA no futher mention of that. My complaint was dismissed .

Ship tip

Before booking look at the room you'll be assigned and make sure it's what is stated . Check your phone to ensure all pictures you purchase are uploaded.

Disembarkation

Again another delay. Causing some members in our party to wait outside in a hour in a hot car for the rest of us. The said one of the disembakation areas was not working. Again a mess.rk

I’ve seen several complaints about the newer ships on multiple cruise lines. Newer is not always better.
