Review summary

We ended up with a 14 day cruise due to Hurricane Harvey causing Galveston port to be closed till 9/1/17. Carnival Cruise Line really stepped up and took care of the passengers. They really kept us informed daily about what was going on in Texas and about flooding.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The new method of checking in and then getting your room keys at your cabin is a no-brainer in making embarkation swift!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The crew was wondeful, and considering that Hurricane Harvey caused our 7 day cruise to extend to a 14 day cruise --the staff was faultless in keeping up the wonderful service throughout it all.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is something going on everyday to entertain and keep you busy. Cruise Director Mike Pack has set a new level of what a cruise director should be! He is enthusiastic and keeps the energy up all day!

The port has the traffic working smoothly.

Beautiful, but the Thriller speed boat to Isla Pasion is overpriced. The speedboat ride is the highlight of the excursion. The vendors at the island tried to shanghai me by trying to sell me a bottle of Off (regular formula) for $25! The jerks were seriously out of their mind. Don't support them by buying anything from them. Meanwhile, the food that was served was pretty good, the drinks were so-so that were included, the waiters were excellent and friendly and very attentive.

Belize City, Belize

We did the kayaking at Bacab Eco Park and it was great! The guides were very attentive and friendly, the food was pretty good. The park itself is very nice.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Walking to the beach is a free and good way to enjoy a few hours at the beach. Massage on the beach is available for $45 for 1 hour. Showers and foot wash stations are also available at no extra charge.

Disembarkation

We were never close to storm and had very smooth sailing.

Wow!! So how far away from the storm were y'all? Was it rocky or scary at all?

I was also on that cruise and carnival took excellent care of us. The staff went above and beyond to make it wonderful.
