This was a great family cruise where we celebrated birthdays and high school graduation. I loved all the ports. Four ports in four days was a little tough. I like the switch to digital pictures but the costs are too high. Not many options for packages greater than 20 images. I bought 40 images, some only candids, and paid $600. Next time, I will take my own pictures.
Embarkation

Went very smooth and quick!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The main dining seem to take a long time; lots of variety; some buffets were definitely better than others.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Lots to do on the ship. Great cruise director, Scwartz. We played Bingo, laid out next to the pool, participated in some of the organized deck parties, shopping and art auction. Tried to do Build A Bear but they ran out of space.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The DJ's were really good.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward was incredible, Heru. He was so attentive. Called us by name the very first day and always had my bucket of ice waiting on me. Incredible. Our waiter was also very good. I can't remember his name but we were at table 32 in the Blush restaurant, late dining. Adi, the gentleman going around with shots at the dining table was also really nice. Also remembered us by name and enjoyed seeing him every day.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Ship was designed much like some of the other Carnival ships. The whole layout of floors 3 and 4 where the dining rooms are can be confusing when trying to select the right elevator. The common areas appeared clean and well-maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The cabin was perfect. Heru did everything in his power to make it the most comfortable and clean. The size was perfect for the two of us.
Ship tip
Need to get up early to reserve a seat on the lido deck. Pictures on the boat are very expensive.
Grand Turk is also very clean near the ship. This time we stayed close, hanging out at Margueritaville for the day and did a little shopping before getting back on ship. Did not do an excursion.
