Review summary

One of the best cruise ships we have been on. We are booking again for next September.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We are platinum with Carnival and was on the ship within a 1/2 hour of checking in. Unbelievable!!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We loved all the choices to eat lunch and dinner. Guy Fieri's burger joint, Guy Fieri's BBQ, Shaq chicken house, Chibang's, Cucina's Italian Rest., Street Eats, Lido Marketplace were all excellent!!! Dining room food was good, but the room was not as beautiful as the rest of the ship.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Miniature golf, rope climbing and the roller coaster (the best) were all fun. Plenty of pools to choose from and never an issue finding a chair.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedy was the best!!! Laughed our you know what offs. Cruise director, Jackie Chang was the best!!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Simply put, the friendliest and always helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We have been on over 20 cruises and this was definitely the top 3. Layout was perfect and you must try the Havana. Best balcony/patio on any cruise line!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
You must try the Havana at least once in your life time. Best balcony/patio on any cruise line!!

Ship tip

Take advantage of Chibang's and Cucina Rest. were you can try once for free and only $8 pp if you go back.
