Sail Date: Mar 2014

OK to be fair, our room was very nice. We hade an Ocean Suite with a very large balcony. The staff and crew for the most part were excellent. If you have never sailed on any other cruise line you may like Carnival. However after cruising with a higher end line we found Carnival to be lacking. Most glaringly in the food and entertainment area. The quality of the food served was just at average. As an example, the sausage served at breakfast appeared to be "brown and serve" microwaved , the Belgium waffle was NOT a Belgium - it was a flat square again microwaved (or maybe waved over a toaster)for heating. The dinners were fair, My husband ordered steak most every night.(he kept hoping to get a good one) All were of poor quality and tough. They also had trouble cooking it to the desired temperature. I prefer to eat seafood. Unfortunately, there was not a good variety offered. What was available was again not of the best quality, If you want a really excellent meal, make a reservation for David's Steakhouse. It is well worth the $35 per person. Maybe the poor food that was served was all part of the plan to have you spend the extra $ for David's!

Another issue we had was that we sailed during Canada's Spring Break for College. The cruise was overrun with co eds. You could not get near the pools, or bars. There was a area for 21 and over, however, that too was overrun with co-eds. I guess no one was checking ID's......

If you don't mind mediocre food and crowds then this is the cruise for you

Cabin Review

The room was great- very nice size with a large balcony. There were 4 closets for clothes and plenty of drawer space. The bathroom was roomy with 2 sinks and a whirlpool tub.
