Review summary

Our food and food service was the finest we have seen! Ani and Dodik truly embody what Carnival stands for - excitement, entertainment and variety. They made this trip incredible for us.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Seating was adequate for pools but not very good for mini golf area. This area was also unregulated by staff as there were inebriated guests badgering sober guests. Our belongings were dumped on the ground and we were faced with profane language in front of our children.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great job with Broadway and Family Feud!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Ani and Dodik were absolutely the STARS of this cruise for us. We have three children and at every turn they anticipated the needs of each of them and they kept them interested in trying new foods. I have been on several cruises and I have never seen this type enthusiasm, care and patience.

Ship Quality

Ship tip

Prepare to compete for activities with overserved guests and little help from staff to regulate this situation

Thanks for the feedback I’ll be on this ship in a few weeks! Hopefully the mini golf thing was a one off because my 4 year old son loves mini golf and he is super excited about playing onboard!
