This was my first cruise! I will not be going back on another cruise! We decided to book a cruise for our Honeymoon! We purchased Faster to the Fun passes, so we could Embark early. (Haha that was a joke, we had to wait 30 mins because they failed to have us on the list.) Nothing Luxurious about this ship! Totally outdated. Reminded me of a floating Motel 6, The only thing that was worth the cruise in itself was the little time we had in Key West, we went parasailing for the first time, which was great! I wish we could have more time there. I'm very disappointed.

We felt like we didn't get to spend enough time there because the excursions are miss leading. We signed up for a 9:30 parasailing and didn't get to go until 10:30. So we felt like our time was precious there and advise anyone who decides to go on a cruise, Make sure you manage your time in Key West because it's not enough!

I barely ate anything on the cruise. The food was not what everyone raves about! The food on the Lido deck was nothing special. Not impressed! However I will say the service and wait staff in the dinning rooms are highly underpaid and we made sure to tip them individually, so they got what was rightfully theirs. We didn't like the food in the dinning room either. We found out 2 days before departing that Carnival no longer served Free Lobster and Filet for the Captains Dinner. But now charges a surcharge for it. So that was a fail. There really wasn't anything to do on the ship, other than throwing money away at the casino, games or lounge on the deck. Drinks were overpriced with little alcohol in them. Even if you purchased a drink package they still "encourage tips" each time you get a drink.. (I'm not against tipping at all, it's just a little to in your face!) Read more
