This was our 4th cruise with Carnival and I would have to say that it was our least favorite out of all of them. We made the best of it and still had a good time, but we noticed a lot of differences between this cruise and our previous three. I'm not sure if the changes made are all throughout Carnival, or if they were just for this specific ship. Something that is always a favorite is lobster night in the dining room and they have done away with it. Now you have to pay an additional $20 for lobster.

They have also done away with some little things, like chocolates on your pillow with turn down service. The buffet food was nothing to brag about. It was actually the worst we've ever had on any Carnival ship. The entertainment wasn't very good. They had the love & marriage show (which is always hilarious), and a couple of other things. We were in bed by 9 or 10pm most nights and so was most of the ship. I've never seen a Lido deck completely empty at 9pm before. All that said, we got a great deal on the cruise so we can't complain much. If they made better changes to the entertainment and the food I would give it a 5.
