a great cruise by Bruce A. from Columbus, MS
Sailing date: Jul 2010

Pros:
the food

Cons:
no pool on the adults only deck, only 2 hot tubs

The ship was fine, and we thought that late dining would be bad, but it turned out to be a great thing.

Don't do back to back on this ship by JR from United States
Sailing date: Dec 2009

Pros:
The dining room staff

Cons:
Inefficiency of Guest Relations

We only had negative contacts with Guest Services. They did not notify us of the requirements to clear each time and inconvenienced us with multiple visits to the desk (standing in line ignoring the Concierge Status we held). The gym program was also lacking with a less than enthusiatic staff member. The only salvation for the 3 back to back cruises was the excellent room steward and the fabulous dining room staff.

Dining/Food
The food in comparison with the Spirit (4th cruise in Dec. 2009) was markedly poorer. Many dishes were the same but far better on the Spirit.

Dining/Food
Our dining room experiences were all bad. I have cruised before, although not with Carnival. The first meal - jumbo shrimp coctail ( 4 very small), steak (tough) tilapia (overcooked) cheesecake (3 at the table ordered and all agreed it was horrible). The last 2 dinners we all decided it was safer to go with appetizers. Tomato/mozzerella salad, cold strawberry soup, melon/procuitto, and aspargus soup was excellent. Chocolate melting cake was perfect the once, overcooked the second. The staff rushed us thru our meal. We were never told we could order more item and never asked if we would like more.
