Review summary

Beautiful new ship & wonderful shows to enjoy. The bars on the ship were great with a variety of premium drinks & wines

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
2 of the restaurants are free to eat at but you need to make a reservation on the app— normally we book the late dining room but because we were the late group we couldn’t book these restaurants until after our eating time so sometimes tables were not available til 9pm or later. The food in the main dining room was better than other carnival ships but not at the level of celebrity or RC.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Carnival always puts on a good party 🎉

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were great but it was difficult to get a seat without missing out dinner (late ) — next time I’m doing anytime dining to avoid this problem Always appreciate the investment cruise lines do for live entertainment!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Bar staff great but difficult to get a waiter to come to you at the pool (staff looked like they were busy all the time )

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Public bathrooms essentially eliminated so that they can sell more cabins. Other cruise lines are still giants but have more than 2 women’s bathrooms in public areas

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I loved being this high on the 15th floor

Ship tip

It’s a big ship. Consider anytime dining to avoid missing the shows

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

Good beaches but Cozumel is small

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras
