Review summary

Ship is beautiful! Food is mediocre and the entertainment (not the shows) were okay. Most choices are comedy club or live music. Wish there was more to do.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Love the self muster drill procedures. Ours asked if we could put on a life jacket and then gave us simple instructions and let us go. Others made them sit thru a lengthy demonstration.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I wasn’t impressed by the food. Seems Carnival is aiming for quantity over quality. The buffet is lackluster, with no bacon!

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
There isn’t much to do other than live music and comedy acts. We don’t gamble. Not into the spa. Serenity was full of drunk 21-year olds. It was kind of disappointing.

Want a reason to get a passport—disembarking!!! Fast and simple. Long lines for birth certs.
