Creator's Key Takeaways

we're going to be scoring everything out of 10 from the entertainment to the crew to the food

service overall has been incredibly incredibly poor especially compared to a lot of the cruises we've done recently

we absolutely love the Mardi Gras we've been on the piano cruises Iona before which is the exact 10 same type of ship I think Carnival have done it a lot better

the carnival Hub app is epic we thought that Royal Caribbean Norwegian all of those other big cruise lines were good this app is absolutely fantastic

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research and find the best and cheapest shore excursions to avoid being ripped off
Sanitize your hands before eating, especially when using tongs at the buffet
Arrive early for shows to get a good seat
