Carnival is a much better option if you are traveling with kids. If you are older and like to sleep on the deck ALL DAY this boat is for you.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Embarrassingly slow process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dining room had a very boring menu. Speciality restaurants had good food(from what I have heard), not sure why there needs to be 5 restaurants on this ship where you have to pay extra for the food. Buffet(WindJammers) had the best food by far.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

A lot of activities that never seemed overly crowded.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Didn't feel like there were that many shows, maybe just no promoted very well.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

10 year old liked the kids club. older daughter not so much. If you travel with 1 teen or pre-teen they will definitely feel like a lost child. Families the came with a group of kids seemed like they had a better time.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Sergiy in the main dining room was awesome. Meanwhile, every person that works in the dining room has no clue how a seating/table chart works. We sat a our table a laughed at every family they tried to seat. The staff at PlayMakers sports bar all were excellent. Room Steward, guest relations were great.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom
