My husband and I had cruised once before on carnival. We wanted to try cruising with our boys 17 and 13 to see if they liked it with the goal of doing a European cruise next summer. This cruise I booked prior to covid and have rebooked and rescheduled many times.
The food and service is exceeded expectations. We ate breakfast and dinner in the dining room all but a couple of times. There were some hits and some misses but overall pretty good. We really enjoyed our dinner at the steakhouse. Not a surprise that our family rated this as the best meal on the cruise. We also enjoyed guys burger, the barbecue place for lunch on embarkation day. The kids loved getting late night pizza every night. The misses were the sushi restaurant - just not something we would do again and breakfast in the Buffet (one and done for us).
Mark in the piano bar was amazing. We enjoyed listening on multiple nights. We did two of the PG comedy shows. 1 wasn’t good while the other one was pretty funny. The boys loved the movies on the pool deck at night.
We had a balcony cabin - room 6318. Our kids were in a cabin across the hall in room 6320. This worked really well.
