Review summary

I always have a great time on my cruise in spite of a few drawbacks here and there. It’s all about what you make it and I love cruising and I definitely love Carnival!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
This was our first time being able to board early because we booked a suite. The Coast Gaurd just happened to be conducting their annual inspection, on the same day. Needless to say we were late getting on which scrapped any chance of getting to our cabin early as expected. We were a bit disappointed but that of course didn’t last long.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The service was slow and the food was just ok this cruise. Not sure how much the rocking waters played a part but it was just ok.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I can’t rate this one like I want so I have it five stars for. Previous cruises. The ship was rocking and a rolling so they shut down most of the outdoor activities and I’m not sure about the fitness center. They drained the pools as well because of the waves.

Entertainment

My sister in-law traveled with us this cruise and it was her first. She did not do well with all the rocking and ended up getting sick for most of it. My wife stayed with her and we helped her as much as we could so no entertainment this time around

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Again not sure how much the weather played into the slow service but it was just ok.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship itself was nice, clean and easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was very nice and spacious. Loved the walk in closet and the tub shower combo. My wife took advantage of the jets in the tub and relaxed for a good while. The suite life was wonderful. The balcony of course we used on the way back from Cozumel because the weather waves were calmer this time around.

Ship tip

I’ve sailed in December twice now, the first was great and the second was not so think about it and check weather

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

I stayed on the ship while my wife daughter and sis ter in-law got her legs back and had a good time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Same process as always. Easy and simple enough
