Review summary

The only real complaint was we had very short port days. Just not enough time to relax and shop. I felt very rushed. Everything else was great!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The service in the Horizons dining room for breakfast and dinner was awesome. Nuyka took very good care of us. He remembered our names, what we like to drink, made suggestions of what was really good on the menu. He went above and beyond for us. Blue Eguana was my favorite for a quick breakfast. The ringer at Guys burger is my favorite and the Cucina de Capitano was very tasty for lunch and included in the cruise fare. Buffet lines always too long for breakfast but it's understandable. We had 4000 on our sailing.

My room was in an excellent location not too far from all the happenings on the ship. My steward Budahcia was top notch. Loved my balcony.

Ship tip

Get a room on the 7th floor midship then you won't mind taking the stairs up or down because the elevators are always occupied when the ship is full, like it was on my sailing

Did a Carnival excursion. Island Beach Club in north Cozumel. Lunch and all you drink. Jose was a great waiter and I would definitely go back there again!
