Creator's Key Takeaways

your time dining I would say was a disaster on this ship

the steakhouse was a bit of a disappointment it was that was the worst Steakhouse on any Carnival Cruise that we ever did

the flow of the Lido deck is a complete disaster it is horrible

the Spa area is beautiful it's the same kind of spa if you ever been on the Carnival Magic

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check in early in your cabin to avoid long waits for Your Time Dining
Meet the maitre d to express concerns and get a better table
Avoid the Lido deck on embarkation day due to extreme crowds
Book a spa cabin for better value and convenience
Use the bar for ice instead of dealing with broken ice machines
