Review summary

My first experience with Carnival was celebrating my 1st year wedding anniversary and I immediately got hooked and need Carnival in my life.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy but not as easy as royal caribbeans transparent embarkation experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
It was phenomenally great. Everyday was different. Only one suggestion, incorporating more traditional dishes from ports of call.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the pools, jacuzzi, outdoor and indoor games.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The Yemaya show was captivating and mesmerizingly beautiful. Til this day, I can't stop thinking about it. I'm glad I recorded the event to show my family and friends. Which the felt compelled to make reservations on this same cruise for June 14 2025 with the hopes of gaining the same experience. My husband and I also booked another reservation for June 14-21 #R5RL01. We truly enjoyed being with you all.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
NG - best and greatest cabin manager, MonaLisa- lovely lady who works on the 8th Floor smoking lounge, Melody- lovely from the gift shop, and August - the awesome pool lifeguard. They all deserve a big fat raise and promotion

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was impressively clean and I was worried free. Very well-maintained. Keep up the phenomenal work.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Considering we plan to return to the same cabin June 14, 2025, we would.like to request to have our two twin beds converted as a king size bed to either just a king size bed or queen. It was utterly uncomfortable due to the split between beds. The edges from both beds scraped me a few times.

Ship tip

A free cruise voucher would be phenomenal. Free wifi and drink package would be a dream come true. And a paid excursion for my husbands birthday on June 15 would be a gift we would never forget.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We live in miami so it's always wonderful to come home to paradise.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
It was a beautiful experience to have visited this island. Loved the people and island. The beach was mesmerizingly gorgeous.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

1 out of 5
This is my second visit to this port and like last time, we had an amazing adventure walking to the nearby beach and get to know the locals and their culture.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
As a Floridian, spending time with our Bahamian cousins is always a great pleasure. Visiting our second home feels refreshing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was super quick and painless. My husband and I felt nostalgic so we immediately booked another cruise with you lol.

When we cruised back in Feb 2020 before the Covid shutdown they had port of call meals at the MDR the night of port days. We just got back from a cruise at the beginning on November and they did not have them anymore. I was sad! They should definitely bring them back! But anyways, Happy Anniversary to you two!

I love to see positive reviews on Carnival especially with the rep that they get with those 1% of viral videos. Happy u enjoyed ur vacation BUT PLEASE NEVER POST UR BOOKING# just a word to the wise. There r some people who live in the misery loves company category. So if that is indeed ur booking info PLEASE REMOVE ASAP.

You may want to take down your booking number for your future criuse. There have been some issues with shared numbers, including an unwanted cancelation that made the news.
