Passengers make the fun by Candy K. from Lincoln, CA
Sailing date: Jan 2012

Pros:
Ports

Cons:
Entertainment was lacking; had to be generated by the passengers by and large

Fascination was good, staff was a C+, as some were a bit laid back. Cabin steward was on top of it. Not very creative on activities. Seemed the passengers had to generate the FUN. Bean bag toss, scavenger hunt, karaoke and trivia. Food choices were average, and quality of selections were generally good.

Nice interior room, and the cabin steward was very nice. Made a new towel animal to greet me each evening.

Ship Staff Quality
A few were enthusiastic and friendly, others were indifferent and did not possess much energy. The cruise director did his best to generate enthusiasm. In the dining areas, the staff was quick to clear plates and keep things clean.

Entertainment & Activities
Only three "shows" during the five nights voyage. They were good productions. Expected Hollywood-production-style shows each night. Activities lacked creativity, and played over and over. For sea days, there could have been more choices beyond trivia of some sort with a bean bag toss, putting contest or art auction thrown in.

It was great. by James E. from Cypress, TX
Sailing date: Jan 2013

Pros:
crew members

Cons:
some of the food.

We were on the veranda deck, very close to everything. The balsony was a little small but at least it was a balcony. All in all very great boat.

so so cruise by A Traveler from Birmingham, AL
Sailing date: Nov 2012

Pros:
sandwich made to order was good. room and dinner staff were good

Cons:
shows were average and same as in years past. food was mediocre

have sailed Carnival before and this ship had same shows as seen on others. long lines with limited activities. indifferent staff in many cases. photos and Internet use were way overpriced. took a snorkeling excursion in Nassau - staff should have cancelled it as was very rocky seas. water was too cold to snorkel in. could not recommend this cruise.

Very Good Cruise by Jagadeeshbabu G from Jacksonville, FL
Sailing date: Dec 2011

Pros:
Energy level of cruise director Jane. Also, overall organization and programs.

Cons:
My children were disappointed with Camp carnival activities.

This is our first cruise and we really liked it. Although, our two kids (ages 6 and 10) didn't enjoy as much. They said that activities is camp carnival are not that exciting and interesting.
