Review summary

I wouldn't say the ship was horrible, but Carnival far surpassed NCL. There are too many pay restaurants. It wouldn't be so bad if the other food was better. The buffet food was awful. We had to pay extra to use the sauna and steam room. I thought the spa services were too expensive. The selection of slot machines in the casino was very limited. Most machines were old. The last night they took our robes away! I was impressed with the embarkment process, it went very quickly. We booked an excursion in LA, so we were able to debark very quickly also.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

I liked the freestyle dining, but the menus were very limited in the no pay restaurants. The food in the buffet was horrible. We only went to one of the pay restaurants and felt that it was NOT worth the extra money. Overall, we were very disappointed with the restaurant situation.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

not enough entertainment. I was not impressed with the shows. The same group performed almost every show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Overall, the staff was nice and friendly. Not quite as outgoing as the Carnival staff.

the ship is old & dated, but they kept it nice and clean. The seating in the buffet was crowded.
