Went on 12 night return trip from dover England. to belfast stornaway iceland and kirkwall. So smooth to embark and disembark. Entertainment food staff decour of ship all wonderful. Very relaxed atmosphere. Pools restaurants all great. Nothing was too much trouble for staff members. 1st but hopefully not last carnival cruise.
The friendliest cruise line I've ever been on. All the staff seem happy and well motivated, and fellow cruisers were much less 'stuffy' than other lines I've cruised on. Loved the selection of music in various bars, the comedy and lectures during the day and the wide selection of quizzes. Food was plentiful and varied. Being referred to by name by all the crew that we interacted with was also a lovely touch - as was the towel art!
The whole ship was very clean and tidy. The room was well serviced. Food was plentiful and fresh and we were served very quickly. Swimming areas were limited but we could always get a seat or a lounger on the various decks. Guest services were very helpful. There were a few British people and many American or Canadian cruisers. Entertainment was ok. Destinations were excellent. We’d have liked more information about what to do in or near the various ports, but the trips that we took from the ship were very informative and led by local people who knew the islands well. Embarkation and disembarkation were excellent. It all ran very smoothly. All in all a great cruising experience.
Fantastic experience on carnival celebration Staff extremely professional and knowledgeable High standard of cleanliness and variety of restaurants Embarkation somewhat chaotic
