Pros:
The crew was professional and attentive. Dining in the Black Pearl met our expectations. The server, Stan, was exceptional and offered menu suggestions at every meal.

Cons:
???

Ship's crew, service crew, and the meals were totally enjoyable and attentive. The entertainment was fun. The whole trip seemed like just a few days.

What an adventure! by Mike O from Salt Lake City, UT

This was the best cruise I have ever been on! I highly recommend this ship to everyone I talk to. We sailed for my honeymoon and were treated fantastically. It couldn't have been better.

Had a wonderful and memorable time by Lisa A from Spokane, Wa.
Sailing date: Dec 2011

Pros:
The staff went out of their way to ensure you were having fun.

Cons:
One of the cashiers in the store was rude and refused to help.

Well, when people say it is pink....it is. The ship itself is well cared for and the art work was nice even though there was an abundance of pink. The staff was amazing and the food was abundant although not always good.

Wonderful cruise by Laurentia A. from San Diego
Sailing date: Oct 2011

Everything was very good. I have only one request for the future cruises. The ship should have a weather news or some information about weather conditions.... We are back home and happy that we are not on the water or cruise ship this week....with this weather conditions. I hope that this nice ship will respect the no travel zone to Porto Vallarta and keep all the customers safe .

Splendid Splendor! by Cheryl G from Yorba Linda, CA
Sailing date: Aug 2011

Pros:
Warm Chocolate Melting cake

Waiting 45 minutes to go through security in Cabo

The ship is beautiful...this was my 3rd time aboard. The food is excellent. The staff is superb. The activities director was entertaining and the Club O2 Director, Matt, (for 15-17 yo's) was phenomenol!

Can't think of anything!

"An Awesome Time" by Brandon S. from Madera, CA
Sailing date: Apr 2011

Pros:
The cruise staff was amazing. The customer service at Carnival is great. The food, the entertainment, the casino, the shows, all A+

Cons:
My only gripe if you call it that is that the Casino didn't have any Wheel of Fortune slot machines. Those are the greatest machines ever.

The ship is huge. The first day I was just trying to get my bearings straight with the layout but after that it was clear sailing. There was so much to do we never found ourselves board. I can't wait to go back on another cruise with Carnival.
