Carnival Cruise Line

MS Tropicale

Your Rating:Three Stars
Reviewed by:M. Thomas
# previous cruises: 1
Date of Trip: October 18, 1999
Itinerary: Caribbean - Western

Overview
Very good service, good shows and entertainment, friendly crew members. Small ship but it gives you a chance to meet and make friends among the other passengers. Very enjoyable.

Public Areas
The public areas were very nicely decorated and there were lots of areas that you could sit both inside and out in comfort. There were lots of areas you could walk around both inside and out. The pool was small but had a slide. The casino had a lot of action and was laid out very well to provide lots of machine but still had room to move around.

Food and Service
We ate the evening meal in the main dining room where the service was outstanding. The food was excellent. We ate breakfast and lunch on the lido deck where it was more relaxed. The food was very good and again the service was very good.

Cabins
I like a good size bathroom and we had a inside cabin with a large shower. The cabin wasn't real large but sufficient as we were not in it very much. There were 2 closets and plenty of space for our clothes.

Entertainment
We went to all of the shows and they were very good. The entertainers and staff were a lot of fun. We enjoyed it a lot.

Activities
There was some sort of activity all day and into the night on board the ship. You are offered several shore excursions when you are in port. I prefer to go ashore and look around the area at our leisure. It was hard to choose which activity to go to on board as there was so many. All of them were fun and entertaining.There were newly wed games and ice craving to orientations on were to go when at a certain port. What the best buys are and stores to get them. Where the best beaches are and what is reasonable to pay for a taxi.

Who Goes
Everyone we meet were great. I would love to have them over. There were all age groups on the ship. Young newly weds to couples that were well into retirement. All got along well with each other.
