	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Great cruise by Paul C from Oceanside, CA Sailing date: Oct 2012 Pros: Many things Cons: Booking through Orbitz.com This was a typical Carnival cruise. We are seniors, and Carnival appeals to a younger crowd. However, we did enjoy ourselves. The Destiny is an older ship. Biggest turn-off was rust in the bathroom.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Cruise was nice. by Donna W from Pocahontas, AR Sailing date: Sep 2012 Pros: The rest I got while I was on the ship. Cons: The shows.....Been on 3 cruises and it was the same shows. The ship is getting dated and the air was poor in the halls. The service was great. Our steward was wonderful. Ship Details: Ship Quality Our room was very clean and I felt that the ship was clean. Dining/Food The food was good in the main dinning area, but I think that the food in the buffets were so so. Stateroom Quality our room was great and very comfortable Ship Staff Quality I think the help was wonderful on the ship. Everyone was very nice and worked very hard to make our trip nice. Entertainment & Activities I really think the ships need to change it up. For a first timer it would be great, but for those of us who have been on a few cruises. It would be nice to see something different, Children's Programs I think that Carnival tries to make sure they have activities for all ages. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside A Great Cruise! by Elise B from Newnan, GA Sailing date: Sep 2012 Pros: The private island, and food The private island was the best, no pressures to shop. Could shop at the other 2 islands if you needed to. The food was better than other ships I've been on. The comedy club was very entertaining and the dancing shows were very good. There seemed to be a toilet issue but it appeared they were working on it to make it better. Overall this was a great trip! Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship is a little older but they were constantly cleaning it which made me feel good about it. Dining/Food The food in the dining room was the best. The service was excellent and the staff was great! The buffet was also open at very convenient times and offered good food! Stateroom Quality The size of the room was average. It provided everything we needed. The staff was very nice and knew our names every time we saw him. The bed was confortable. The toilet didn't always work right away though, which they appeared to be working on and there was a weird smell further down at the back of the ship. Ship Staff Quality The staff was very friendly especially the housekeeping and dining staff. Guest services was ok but they did not know the answer to my question and appeared to be a trainee. Entertainment & Activities The comedian they had in the comedy club was very entertaining. The shows were very high quality and entertaining as well. The guest interaction shows were also entertaining. They had a good variety of options and things to do during the day and evening. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Balcony Great cruise, but ship needs repairs by YFF from Coral Gables, FL Sailing date: Aug 2012 Pros: The spa, the gym, our balcony, the food, the bedding, and the very professional and friendly crew. Cons: The ship was somewhat dirty and very smelly. Needs cleaning and repairs to the source of the AUFULL smell. The food was excellent, lots to choose from to control your weight, as well as to gain for those who love to indulge. There was delicious low calories food. The service was superb; the crew was very professional, respectful and friendly. EXCELLENT! The beds and pillows were first class. Did not miss our wonderful ComfortPedic adjustable beds. We also loved our balcony as we were able to enjoy the sounds of the waves without all the fuss and noise on the veranda. I particularly loved the gym. It was empowering to exercise overlooking the ocean. The equipment is first class, clean and in top condition. My husband enjoyed the massages in the spa. The children activities were also excellent. Having said all that, the ship was pretty smelly to the point that during the safety exercise everyone had to cover their faces. I had to put perfume on my hands and still smelled the odor. It seems that there is a problem with the sewage. I sometimes felt the smell in our bathroom. The ship was also somewhat dirty. The balcony glass needs to be cleaned. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality I would say excellent if it were not because of the bad odors (like sewage) and the dirty glass in our stateroom's balcony.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony A Dirty Cruise by Tikesha Godchaux from New Orleans, La Sailing date: Jul 2012 Pros: The courteous staff Cons: Ship was very dirty This was our second cruise and we were sadly disappointed. Our cabin was quite dirty upon arival and the ship overall seemed in need of a good cleaning. I would highly recommend the Royal Caribbean Cruise line, which was much nicer, more professional, and we did not have one thing to complain about! Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food There was not a variety f food offered. The same food was rotated to various restaurants on the ship. Stateroom Quality Cabin was a nice size but it was dirty! Ship Staff Quality I didn't find the customer service reps. to be very friendly and they had a very hard time understanding English. Entertainment & Activities Nothing to do at night and for adults there was very liitle variety of entertainment! 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Balcony Absolutely wonderful cruise!!! by Merritt D from West Palm Beach, FL Sailing date: May 2012 Pros: The service, room, and dining experience. Cons: activities Ms. Anita Andelic and Chefs made sure we received the best service during our dining experience. Our steward, Jean, took time to make our room look so special and clean. Our waiters, Jose and Anthony, both took time to ask about our day and showed sincere appreciation of us dining with them. The ship was clean and maintained (hard to do with so many guests on board!) Activities were few. We would have liked to enjoy more family activities that were not offered. Ship Details: Ship Quality Decor was outdated, but all areas were clean and well maintained. Dining/Food We have special needs due to severe food allergies. We truly expected to not eat on the cruise and packed our own necessities. We were surprised on the willingness from all the Chef's and staff to make sure we enjoyed a wonderful dining experience. Amazing staff! Stateroom Quality Decor was outdated. Size of room for comfortable and bed was roomy. When cruising on the Destiny, we would book same location. Condition of stateroom was clean and met our needs. Room was quiet except for the staff setting up chairs in the morning on the deck above us (we were in room 1017 Spa Deck). Ship Staff Quality Absolutely perfect! Again, we cannot thank the crew enough for making our dining safe (we trusted) and delicious! Even the Chef in the pizzaria made us a special dough, so we could come and order at our leisure. Entertainment & Activities Appreciated having the next day's schedule on our bed. Easy to follow and diverse options. We suggested more activities available. For example, an activity scheduled was "laser tag". Great activity...but only one time. We could not participate at this time. More times and more activities.... 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Inside Carnival Destiny by Mark M. from United States Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: The Layout is the same as other Carnival ships making it easy to get around. The food is excellent and plentiful. The wait staff and cabin guy were very attentive. Cons: The hot tubs were not hot enough. Were expecting more stage dancing and shows. To many interrupting announcements trying to sell onboard services! Ship Details: Ship Quality Everything was very clean. Dining/Food The food was indredible. The wait staff was the best. I liked trying the chilled cherry and strawberry soups. Wait staff remembered our names and our drink preferences each night. Stateroom Quality Size was adequate. Cabin guy was great and he always remembered our names. Ship Staff Quality Great staff. Entertainment & Activities Comedian "Uncle Eddie" was hilarious. Very funny. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
