Review summary
We had been in 2 cruises prior and then 4 after our Mardi Gras Cruise. We enjoyed the check-in and getting on the ship process. Overall we really disliked our sailing on this ship. We constantly had to fight over space in the elevator and common areas. We hated the layout, it doesn't flow as well as other ships in the fleet. My girlfriend is a religious vegetarian and we had so many issues finding edible food for her. We recently sailed on Celebrity and they took incredible care of her food and made sure she was able to eat items. We personally are triple vaccinated and contracted COVID while on the boat, we didn't know until the last day when we got tested once we got off. Saw in our Facebook group chat that over 1,000 people got it in our sailing. 2 of the water slides were broken on our sailing. Cocktails in the Alchemy Bar are close to $16 which is absolutely insane. The buffet was incredibly tiny for the size of the ship and it honestly tasted terrible. The ChiBang! and Guys burger tasted pretty good. The cruise Director Lee and the Family Feud Shows are pretty awesome. We booked for the Carnival Venezia next on the Ingaural cruise to try carnival again. Grand Turk was beautiful and awesome to swim in front of the ship, amber cove was a huge disappointment for me.Embarkation
