Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Oceanview Caveat Emptor by PeterP from Boston Sailing date: Mar 2013 Pros: Weather/Cabin Cons: Food, the knowledge of the crew/staff My cabin R207 was clean and comfortable our stewart Yogi was great!! However, the food was aweful, lack of creativeness, cold, old and the service was fair at best... Another problem is Carnival just doesn't enforce any rules! people come half dressed to the dining room w/tee shirts and flip flops! Another issue was the crew knows nothing about the ports that we sailed into ? nor do they know in which direction to point us if we have an issues on the ship! Another thing is tips are included in everything you do!! any they always have their hand out for more!! I would not recommend!!

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Inside This cruise left me wanting by Lynn D. from Bismarck, ND Sailing date: Mar 2013 Pros: Our wait staff and room stewards were excellent Cons: Communication of activities on-board was poor This was my 3rd cruise with Carnival. The ship, though older, was clean and easy to get around. Our wait staff and room stewards were excellent. I missed the entertainment that had been on other Carnival cruises. I realized later that there was some entertainment, but the communication of it was poor and the timing of the entertainment required you to decide to eat or be entertained. My previous experience with Carnival was entertainment was offered twice per night so both dining times could see the show. I also think charging gratuities in the store for candy and such is over the top as I am already paying a gratuity for the ship each day. I have gambled throughout the US and found the tables on the Carnival Ecstasy (Mar 16 21) were tight and the staff less than friendly. I also found the minimum bid requirements too high for my liking. Remember guys, if people want to bet more...they will. This is probably why a lot of the tables were dead or low attendance. The slots machines were tight as well and the minimum for the lines was set so you HAD to play at least 2 coins per line. I did like the no-smoking areas for the slots, but it could use a bit more enforcement of the policy. I really enjoyed our stop in Key West. We got in at noon and stayed until 8. That was the right amount of time to take in an excursion and still have time to appreciate the area and the shopping. I hope you decide to return to a guest appreciation agenda. When I get ready to book my next cruise, I will be looking for proof that you want to provide me with a relaxing and entertaining cruise. Ship Details: Ship Quality The public areas were kept clean and were enjoyable. I really liked the Serenity area Dining/Food The dining room food selection was okay. However, the Lido deck was without much thought or flavor. Stateroom Quality Room was clean and the room steward was excellent Ship Staff Quality Thought everyone was friendly and usually wore a smile. Entertainment & Activities Other than drinking and gambling, the entertainment was wanting. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

The steward directed us to wait for the all clear before getting into line to go on the glass bottom boat shore excursion for our two young children. The shore excursion left without us and we were shrugged off on our predicament. Just got the credit card statement and they charged us for this wonderful experience. One more battle....

The ship was very clean, my stateroom was very comfortable and inviting, all employees cared about the cruisers. Beautifully decorated for the holidays.
