Disappointing is the only way to describe my first Fun Ship Experience. The trip began in a long "Embarkation" line. Even though the wife did the pre-work online to speed up the embarkation process. We were told we had to fill out a new very detailed form for Bahama entry authorities at the time we got onto the ship. Our first contact with Carnival Employees at the check in desk set the tone. They were very rude and not cooperative...handed out forms, but no pens or pencils to complete.

Once on the ship, the crew was much nicer. The room, a Balcony suite, was very nice and a little bigger than what I had experienced on other lines. Only issue I had was paper thin walls...could hear my next door neighbor sneeze. My room was over the kids game room, and many an evening I would go to bed listening to the "clang clang" of an air hockey game -- many nights til 3:30a.m. Lots of teens 14-17 on this boat, who were roaming without parental supervision til 3 or 4am. It would be nice to see the game room close at least at 1am to allow some of the rooms around it to have some quiet for sleep. It would also be nice to see some tighter control around unsupervised children under 18.

Food was average. Red Sail was similar to what you would get at a cafeteria in the U.S. We did enjoy the Emerald Room for the added $25. The food and staff service were exceptional. Read more
