Review summary

There is no bad cruise. I don't think I would do this itinerary again. But it was worth doing one.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

We are Platinum and supposed to have priority boarding. Did not happen.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Specialty dining was fabulous. Buffet was great. Breakfast in Manhattan was not so great. Service was excellent though.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Game shows and trivia. Would have liked more trivia. The venue for these events was way too small. Not near enough seating.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Not enough variety. Too much music only.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward was excellent. Sharon provided everything we asked for right away. All waiters and servers were excellent. All personnel really.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The bed was fabulous. I liked that there was a bar in the shower to put my foot while shaving. The layout was a bit awkward work the closet being so close to the bed. I wish there was a plug in the bathroom for a nightlight or blow dryer.

Ports of call

New York, New York

3 out of 5

New York is a fantastic place to visit did a short time if you don't have to drive.

Thank you for your review. Carnival has not reinstituded FTTF which has Priority Boarding or Platinum/Diamond Priority Boarding since Covid. Only suites have the perk at this time. I have not heard when it will start it back up again.
