Review summary

Overall, a very good cruise. My wife and I have cruised at least 15 times, but this was the first time since Covid. We went with our daughter and another couple. Easy embarkation and debarkation, however I do miss the priority boarding. Cleaning service is no longer twice a day, you much choose either morning or evening due to CDC and Covid I believe. Food was great as was the dining service. Ship was clean and well maintained and all staff was very friendly. I was happy to discover that the "cruising experience" had not diminished due to the Covid issues. Another cruise is already booked for December.

The shows were what you would expect from Carnival. Was not particularly impressed with the specific comedians that were on the cruise.

Service and Staff

Our dining waitstaff and room steward staff were very good. Everyone encountered was extremely friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was clean and well maintained. The only complaint I can make is that there is only one theater on this particular ship as compared to others I have been on.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room served us well for my daughter, wife, and me. There was plenty of room and storage for belongings. It was nice having a second sink in the changing area outside of the bathroom.

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
Easy getting to and leaving the port.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Have been to Nassau many times. This time was just for picking up a few souvenirs.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
First time on Half Moon Cay. Overall, not a bad experience. Make sure and reserve a clamshell for the beach ahead of time as they quickly sell out.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We are Platinum, and with self assist with our luggage, we were able to disembark very quickly.
