Review summary

Overall this was the best cruise I have ever been on and being that, 20 years ago, I didn't have a great opinion of Carnival...that has truly changed. Thanks for making this the most fun FUN SHIP I've ever been on!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It seemed a bit uncoordinated, but once inside the terminal, everything moved quickly and efficient. There were groups standing around, so perhaps a more defined line system.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining room food was REALLY wonderful and better than I remember from my last Carnival cruise (20 yrs ago). The bar was generous and I even won free drinks. The highlight of our dining on board was the Cucino di Capitano; Sasha and Hanna were AMAZING and not only offered great service, but were down to earth, funny and kept us entertained. The buffet was ok at best.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
OMG, I have never been on a cruise with so much to do at all times. We did the karaoke, trivia, pools and even the piano bar (my personal favorite). I enjoyed every crazy thing I did.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The shows were ok and there were maybe a couple singers that should dance more than sing, but they were fun.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was friendly and on point...very impressed. The shops stewards were awesome and informative and very friendly. Our dining staff, Agustinus and I Made were incredible and very accommodating. They even hooked us up with Indian food one night! Schwartz was, by FAR, the best cruise director EVER. He was funny, entertaining and an amazing speaker.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was immaculate and even the casino staff kept up with people laying things down. The public bathrooms were always clean and the overall of the ship was pristine!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I was a little apprehensive when I saw the one twin bed, but it was comfy and there was more than enough room in the cabin for one person. The shower was perfect and Mervin kept my room very clean and entertaining with a new towel creature every day.

Ship tip

It was GREAT, but too many jewlery stores. LOL

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
This was my absolute favorite! The Bacardi factory was fun and Senior Frogs was crazy fun! I can't wait to come back.

Grand Turk Island

2 out of 5
Not much going on there, but the Margaritaville was fun, but the staff seemed miserable.

Disembarkation

I've never gotten my luggage and out the terminal that fast!
