	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Inside Fun Cruise by Debbie from Orlando Sailing date: Dec 2012 Pros: Friendly staff Cons: Food variety I recently cruised on the ship Ecstasy with my family and it was a great time. The only complaint was that there was only one pool and it was always crowded. Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship was clean the staff was always cleaning the decor just needs updating. Dining/Food I liked the your time dinning and the staff was great. Just wish there was more variety on the menu. Stateroom Quality My stateroom was clean and comfortable just could have been a tad bigger and better decor. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities The performers were great but the shows were a bit boring. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview Average to below average by BB from Washington, DC Sailing date: Dec 2012 Pros: Very clean Cons: Boring Compared to other two cruises I've been on this was my least favorite one. The restaurant staff did not look very happy but was very aggressive when trying to sell alcohol. The pool was the size of a bigger bath tub and always packed with children - not sure why they even bother mentioning it. Cabin staff was nice and the rooms and other areas were clean. The food good but fairly limited in variety. Ship Details: Ship Quality Very retro decor. Aging ship. Very clean tho. Dining/Food Good food. Not too much variety. Very aggressive wait staff. Stateroom Quality Very clean. Ship Staff Quality Cabin, spa, and other staff were good, but I am still bothered how aggressive the restaurant staff was. For example, when asked for a glass of wine, they tried to sell a bottle, which is OK if you politely deny, but then they ask again in a very commanding tone, and again, and again... The staff did not really look happy. They were professional, but tired and overworked. Entertainment & Activities The entertainment was high quality but very limited. There is a lot of down time on a four night cruise. Yes, I wanted downtime where I could relax at the pool or somewhere else, but the pool was tiny and packed with children. Serenity area was a nice touch if it wasn't packed 24/7 and had only two hot tubs. 1 out of 1 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: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony not my style of vacation by A Traveler from Michigan Sailing date: Oct 2012 Pros: the staff was great! Cons: way too many people, not enough for everyone to do It seemed like it was just about drinking. I like to have a few drinks but thats all there was to do. The shows were all very short and very crowded. The pool was ectremely small and packed all the time. The food was okay but any buffet serves better quality. Ship Details: Ship Quality the ship was outdated and way too small for the amount of people. Dining/Food We went to the dinning room twice, it took 2 hours and they served the same food as the buffet had. Also our table sat 12 people but was sized to seat 8 comfortably Stateroom Quality The room was great, glad we paid the extra to upgrade to a balcony but the bed was hard Ship Staff Quality staff was great Entertainment & Activities The showes were very short and overcrowded 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Stateroom Type: Inside Nice cruise by A Traveler from Newaygo, MI Sailing date: Sep 2012 Pros: the excursions Cons: alcohol being served everywhere! This was my second cruise, with the other being Holland America. This cruise with Carnival was cheaper, but I didn't feel this was the same quality. I took my 16 year old daughter. I knew alcohol would be served, but didn't realize it would be offered everywhere you went. The food was goo. I was looking forward to the exercise classes, but only 2 free were offered. It was fine for the price, but I wouldn't go with this line again. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality nice, only the shower "gurgled" in the middle of 3 nights of the 5 Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Cons: Having to tell waitstaff not to clear my plate while dining on Lido deck resturants. This was the most relaxing vacation that I have ever had. I didn't want for anything. The shows were good and entertaining, staff was great and ports were beautiful. I am already planning my next one.

Most seafood dishes were ok, but all the beef dishes seemed to be the same very tough meat in different sauces. The best dessert was the cake we bought to celebrate my moms birthday. Stateroom Quality Good size, clean, beds were only ok Ship Staff Quality Most were friendly and helpful, our room porter was non existent. After introducing himself the first night, we never saw him again and several times he was a no show Entertainment & Activities Much better than our last Carnival cruise 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Nice cruise for money by A Traveler from Indianapolis, IN Sailing date: Sep 2012 Pros: Ship cleanliness, fellow passenger friendliness, comedy club, sushi bar Cons: Lack of art work throughout the ship, lack of activities We are experienced cruisers--over 15 cruises on all the major cruise lines. I like the smaller, classic ships, but my husband prefers the larger, mega ships which provide more activities. There were times on this smaller ship when there was nothing to do, making our 5-day trip seem like it was long enough. We were disappointed that at the captain's welcome party, drinks were no longer complimentary.

Sailing date: Aug 2012 Pros: The barbeque at Half Moon Cay Cons: Having to take photographs all the while. The ship obviously was not a large one . Its max. being 2052 passengers but it was kept very clean. Everywhere one could see an employee polishing or sweeping. Also, the amenities on board was suitable to the ship's size Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality George who took care of our cabin on the Main Deck went above and beyond . My son was delighted with the towel figures he made and he was always welcoming and ready to be of help Entertainment & Activities The shows were a bit of a disappointment. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Also make sure you have about 100$ for taxi rides to the beach because its 25$ per person each way. the workers on the ship were amazing, they do what ever to make sure your trip is as carefree as possible. jacuzzi's were closed and the pool was loaded with kids running wild Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food horrible food almost got sick on salmon Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.
