Outstanding cruise!! by A Traveler from Sacramento, CA
Sailing date: Mar 2011

This was our first cruise and it was awesome!! The crew was top-of-the-line...anticipating our every need and want. Our stateroom was kept clean and supplied every time we left. Our inside cabin was plenty big. There was always something to do and the entertainment was top rate. We will be cruising with Carnival again soon and often!

Firs time cruiser by Richard M from Aspen CO
Sailing date: Sep 2009

Pros:
the atmosphere was great

Cons:
the necessary security

I was a bit apprehensive because I was going to be a newbie. Then from the arrival at the cruise center everyone was helpful, friendly and kind. We had a set of waiters that were ideal. Again very helpful and great to be with. Now I am an old hand and would highly reccomend both your service and the cruise line.

Superb and Spectacular "Splendor" by Jacqui V from Las Vegas
Sailing date: Jun 2012

Pros:
Capable and Charismatic Crewmembers

Cons:
mealtimes often conflicted with activities I wanted to participate in\

I loved this cruise, the room was wonderful, the activities enjoyable and accessible, the food delightful, the variety of activities for all ages superb, and the crewmembers made this voyage perfect. I couldn't have asked for better people to make my vacation a success.

The crewmembers were all so wonderfully friendly, it was like taking a cruise with people you've known all your life. They were so fabulously funny and went out of their way to encourage and include all people. They went out of their way to learn passengers names and even had inside jokes by the end of the cruise. It was fantastic

The Perfect Honeymoon by A Traveler from Provo, UT
Sailing date: May 2012

It was the perfect honeymoon. We weren't very impressed with the ship's entertainment but made some great friends on the ship. It's easy to have a great time at the ports since there's so much to explore.

It was pretty good by Nicholas M. from kelso wa
Sailing date: May 2012

Pros:
Food was pretty good, cleaning staff was really good, staff in gerneral was good.

Cons:
The Scheduling of events was very hard to follow, the basketball courts were in very bad repair. They also did not have espn in the rooms, some guys would love that over any other network.

The ship was clean and ran on time all the time, staff was great. Can't really say anything bad.

fun cruise by James W from San Ramon, CA
Sailing date: Mar 2012

Pros:
the staff

Cons:
the food

The ship seems out dated as far a decor, especially in the staterooms. The food left a lot to be desired. Other than those two items I thought the overall experience was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The entertainment was also very good.

Great time by sharon T. from Seattle
Sailing date: Feb 2012

Pros:
very organized, excellent shows

Cons:
food was good but more variety would have been nice, slots were tight

The ship is organized and very well organized. With over 3,000 guests, most events ran like clockwork. Food was generally well prepared and attractive. Entertainment was great. Dancers especially.
