Two thumbs up: Emeril's Bistro, Chibang, The Palm Restaurant. We did "Your Time Dining" and never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seated.

Family Feud Live! Was awesome.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Inconsistent customer service. Depended on who you came in contact with and their mood for the day. A new experience for us. Most were polite and cordial.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Beautiful ship. Great neighborhoods. Easy to navigate ship. Larger ship equals smaller staterooms. Staterooms smaller than other Carnival ships. Bathrooms much smaller than other Carnival ships.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Room and especially the bathroom was smaller than usual/other Carnival ships. Additional outlets for electronics, USB charging ports and reading lights on bed was a great addition.

Ship tip

Pack extra patience when returning from visiting ports. Elevators are smaller than other Carnival ships and creates delays when there is a large crowd of people waiting.
