Review summary

St. Croix needs to be replaced with a better port of call.  It's a dead port and very depressed area.  Not on par with the other ports.

Didn't love the breakfast and lunch choices.  Same thing every day and nothing really all that tasty.  On previous cruises there has been more theme type areas to choose form like a place to get sandwiches or indian food, etc.  This was the same old buffet type food with a very sad taco bar.  The breakfast was seriously lacking, the ham was almost always out, bacon was soggy and eggs didn't even look real.  Best thing was the omelet bar where you could have something fresh made but that was a 30 min wait.

The positives were the dinners, some great choices and service was outstanding.  Great bars on board, ship is beautiful.  Great gym.

Thank you for posting your review.

We always try to book our excursions in advance to avoid getting frozen out of the tours we really want to join.

Happy sails!

Thanks for the reminder to others to book excursions before boarding.  I always do this.  One time Carnival took away a shore excursions from us even though it was booked months in advance because others who had not done so couldn't get anything.  I was very annoyed about that and really made my complaint known to Carnival.
