First off allow me to be clear- I am not what you would call a cruise veteran. My only prior cruise experience was 37 years ago. Of course things have changed in this time. But I do not feel that changed for the better.
I am going to address the food first. The main banquet dining on Deck 14 had a huge variety, but the quality was pretty poor. I was rather shocked by this given the reputation ...
My experience will be unforgettable because it wasn't good at all. Starting from the breakfast,we had to wait about 15 min to enter because there was no table available as they were saying to us but there were many as far as we could saw. We asked for marmalade the 2nd day and they told us was finished ,but the table next to us had. The shows were a disaster. After dinner there was al.ost nothing ...
I have been on many ships with carnival cruise line and this was my worst experience ever. This cruise line has changed quickly. I am very disappointed in carnival cruise line. The refrigerator didnt work in the cabin. The quality of the food has extremely dropped. Also the portion sizes were so small. People was ordering 2 or 3 entrees just to try out to see if they would like it. I noticed ...
1. directions to the terminal are clear ( you can find out at the entrance of port everglades which terminal is infinity)(you will be stopped at the port entrance to check your id)

4.buffet station ...
PROS:
The MSC Divina is a nice clean well maintained ship.
The private island (Ocean Cay) was fabulous! Ocean Cay was beautiful, clean, safe, well maintained and included a great buffet lunch.
Great female cruise director (Keri) and staff always had fun activities going on all over the ship.
Great entertainment each night in the theater. We especially enjoyed the magic show, comedy ...
We chose this cruise because it met a great price point and we wanted to stay overnight at their private island.
The Food: The breakfast was great and that is all I can say good about the food! We definitely did not over eat on this trip!! The lunch and dinner buffet was odd choices and not very good other than the pizza and cheese bread. The dinner choices were not very good also. We ...
Whole family cruise. Had horrible cruise in 2019 on Armenia no air conditioning for the entire time. This trip was well worth it lots of fun . The ship was fantastic,clean and very friendly. Our wait staff was fantastic especially Aditya Perdana GDE from Indonesia was the best. Constance Nyoni from Zimbabwe was friendly and courteous. Mark Herald bar Tender was the best bar Tender ever. Ray ...
Embarkation
Off to a challenging start. IT problems. Many room keys not working even after being reprogrammed. Drinks package not working on some cards. Lines for guest services backed up for hours. Some key cards needed to be reprogrammed 3 times or more. Some guests not linked with credit card of primary guest even though we checked in online and imputed all this information. It was a ...
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 ...
The positives first, the staff are hard working and friendly. Disembarkment went smooth.
The burgers and Deli food were ok.
So disappointed in evening dinning, did not have one good meal. It use to be nice dinning. We had 8:15 dinner and everything that was suppose to be hot was cold and everything that should be cold was hot. My table of 8 concluded that the food was prepared at same time ...
