Sail Date: May 2013
Cabin: Large Ocean-View Stateroom

We took this cruise as a means of transportation so we could visit some of the Canadian maritimes without the driving time. The cruise accomplished this.

The ship was quite clean, how much of this was due to the sanitation process ordered by the CDC right before our sailing is unknown, but I was pleased (and I am finicky)

The food overall was good, and some was very good. The service in the main dining room was not great as they were very understaffed and undertrained. The people working in the food areas worked very hard, but servers had to bus the tables and fill the water glasses as well as take orders and serve. Past cruises (on other cruise lines) have had personnel for each of these tasks. Just seems like the parent company (Carnival) is trying to cut costs at the expense of the passengers' comfort.
