No cleaning, no cooking and just a good time! Cons: Sometimes I felt like there was a break in things to do at night. The ship was very beautiful. It was very well maintained. Just a beautiful boat! Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Mmmmmm :-) Stateroom Quality Presently surprised with size of the room Ship Staff Quality Staff was amazing, made the trip that much better. So very friendly! Entertainment & Activities Some of the people hosting the shows were kind of "boring" and needed a little more personality! 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Hurricane Sandy by David P from Alabama, departed Jacksonville Sailing date: Oct 2012 Pros: Key West Cons: Same shows and entertainment as last cruise Overall it was nicely kept for it's age. Ship Details: Ship Quality Basically same ship as the Elation which we cruised on last year. Dining/Food Dining room food was OK however buffet food is very "Diner" like. Not quality just volume. Stateroom Quality Beds were comfy. Ship Staff Quality Stateroom is cleaned every time you leave and they kept ice bucket filled at all times. Entertainment & Activities Same shows as last years Cozumel cruise. OK the first time but not worth seeing twice! Children's Programs They will keep kids occupied/happy when adults want to play. 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: Suite A Great Long Weekend by A Traveler from Niagara Falls, NY Sailing date: Oct 2012 Pros: Excursions Cons: Ships Hours Ship was a little older. If you like to stay up late and don't gamble, the pools and hot tubs close at 10 or 11PM and the last shows end by 1AM. Ship Details: Ship Quality An older ship, but well maintained Dining/Food Diner was excellent but food throughout the day was more of a diner quality Stateroom Quality Spacious and well maintained. Room staff was outstanding Ship Staff Quality Still can't believe how many times we were walking around and were cut off by a crew member in a hurry. Entertainment & Activities Good shows but nothing after 12AM... 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: First cruise Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Inside Mediocre cruise experience by A Traveler from Chapel Hill, NC Sailing date: Sep 2012 Pros: the crew (waiters and stewards specifically) Cons: food and the activities/entertaiment hosts (except for the Karoake hostess) This was my first cruise experience. I guess my expectations were too high. The good aspects of the ship was meeting people (other cruisers and the crew). Everything else was dull. I will probably not return to this ship, but I am glad i went. Ship Details: Ship Quality the ship's decor is ugly but the ship is very clean Dining/Food the is plentiful, but not that great or exciting Stateroom Quality I had a small stateroom, but I found it to be clean and cozy Ship Staff Quality The staff was one the highlights of the ship! Entertainment & Activities The activities were not that great. They were stale and boring and some of the hosts/hostess did not do a good job getting people excited. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

I will try another carnival Ship Details: Ship Quality They try to stay on top of the cleanliness of the ship area by cleaning very often I was impressed enjoy the customer service area at night. however, the layout was confusing. Dining/Food The dining room need to be cleaner we sat at window seat every night and to our surprised all the windows and window sill were dirty.. Stateroom Quality The room was comfortable enough for us to sleep like a baby!!! Ship Staff Quality A lot of the staff was not friendly..not sure if it's there culture but our attendant was great Entertainment & Activities wish we had more of adult activities and later activities, children had activities until 3am. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Nice size ship by Shanta B. from columbus, GA Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: the ship wasnt too big to learn ur way around quick,but it was big enough to where u didnt see the same people over and over again. Cons: There should be more food options late at night. Pizza gets old rather quick. Overall, I enjoyed my cruise but with it being my very first cruise I dont have anything to compare it to. The weather wasn't so good the first day so the ship rocked a lot! I didnt get sea sick but i was dizzy for about 3 straight hours! The crew was very nice and attentive to us. They keep u informed the entire time. I think they should place intercoms in the interior rooms because we could not hear the announcements unless we opened our door. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food We choose our time dining, great! Not a lot to choose to eat after 11pm. Stateroom Quality the interior cabin is a good size for 2 adults. Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities the broadway like shows were amazing!!! A must see! 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple BEWARE OF PORTHOLE ROOMS!!! by Adam M. from Knoxville Sailing date: Mar 2012 Pros: beautiful ship, amazingly friendly staff, decent food Cons: expensive drinks, very loud noises while pulling into port Overall the cruise was very nice. We saved some money booking our own snorkeling in Freeport and going to the public beach in Nassau. The biggest negative was definitely the porthole room. As we pulled into each dock we heard very, very loud machinery that also shook our room. This would not have been a problem except for the fact that it goes on for about an hour and occurs between four and seven in the morning. If you are an early riser who is up before then the porthole room might be for you but otherwise just go for an interior or upgrade to an ocean view! 7/10!

Service was not that great and the drinks were very expensive. Ship Details: Ship Quality We spent 1/2 our time waiting for the ships elevators. They were very slow or broken. Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality There were many great people, but the few rude ones ruined the experience. Entertainment & Activities 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful.
