Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Had an amazing couples massage at the spa plus a manicure and pedicure. Everyone was very nice and professional

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Didn’t care much for lido deck this time. That’s usually where we spend most of our time. This time the DJ was just too loud, you couldn’t talk to the person sitting next to you. The comedy shows at the beginning of the cruise were great. Saw the production Flick, LOVED IT!!!

Children's Programs

Didn’t have children for this

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Any staff member on board that you spoke with was always helpful, polite and extremely friendly

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The room size ,comfort a d cleanliness were great. There were issues with the AC after 2 am it was so hot like we were in a sauna. On the last night of the cruise sounded like there was a rodent in our ceiling. There were issues ship wide with sewage backing up.

Ship tip

If you or anyone in your party have trouble walking please do yourself a favor and rent a wheelchair or electric scooter. It will make your trip a lot more enjoyable

Thumbs up

No excursions just getting on the ship here

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Didn’t do excursions, spent our day walking around and shopping. Went over to the next port to go to Senior Frogs for food and drinks. Carnival would benefit from having a Senior Frogs at their port.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5

Went on the airboat ride,hoping to see the manatee it was a great trip after that we visited the rum factor. Lots of flavors to try and purchase along with several choices of rum cakes. Our tour guide was informative for the city tour.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5

Here was the glass panel boat where you are submerged to fish level and see what their life is like on the coral reef. Our tour guide Edwin was awesome! Super friendly very informative and has a great personality to engage the group
