Review summary

Great ship. Lots to do. 1 Oct 2017 cruise had to miss Cozumel though due to hurricane Nate. The Capt. was great at constantly giving updates so no one felt scared or nervous. They really took care of us. Mike Pack, cruise director. If y’all ever have a chance to go on one of his ships, DO IT. He is truly amazing. Steakhouse, extremely worth the $35. Crazy how they can make a steak taste like they used a flame but they did it with electric only. SO good. Italian place, again, worth the $15. The staff are most friendly here. Food is wonderful. Wasn’t a huge fan of the main dining room as we were assigned a big round table with four other couples. Just a personal preference. As the ship was capacity, we couldn’t get changed to a more private table so we only dined there once. It was good food though. Chefs Table. If you can, this was well worth the $95. We had an amazing experience and I highly recommend doing this. We will for all future Carnival cruises. Red Frog Pub. Great area to hang at night to enjoy Carnivals own Thirsty Frog beer. Jerry is the entertainment most nights and he is awesome. Ships activities. I do recommend using the Fun Times and the Carnival Hub App to plan your day. We went to all the shows and a few comedy shows. We tried to hit anything hosted by Mike. So much fun. The water Sports area is a blast, slides are crazy fast so don’t eat before you go. We booked a balcony but have decided an inside cabin would be just fine as we never really used the balcony. It was nice but to us, not worth the extra moola. Ports. We stayed on the ship in Montego Bay and loved that decision after hearing about cruisers experiences out there. The common issue, the locals push drugs hard, not just pot. The whole area just looked sketch. Caymen, now this place was awesome. We did a tour of the rum cake factory, rum distillery, and they Caybrew Brewery. What a great time. The distillery might throw you off though. The Manager/distiller is American and is from New Jersey. Super great guy. They will give you as much rum “samples” (shots) and you can handle for free. Same with the Brewery. They will keep your beer glass full as long as you want. Cozumel, my favorite port. We unfortunately had to skip the port due to hurricane Nate. Very sad but Carnival has safety as a priority. Overall, the cruise was amazing and I highly recommend it. Just remember, get active and enjoy the ships activities and shows. It makes the experience way better. Happy cruising!
