Review summary
Great cruise, the excursions I booked through skymiles were much better then the one excursion I booked with Carnival. A mini Hummer ride in Turks and Cacios is a waste of time and money. I cant believe Carnival passes this off onto people. You ride around and stop at various parking lots, see two ladies selling basically yard sale items, you look at a pile of rocks, stop at a standing pond of salt water, pass by a mini replica of a space capsule on the side of a highway and then they pull some shells out of a Rubbermaid tote to pass around. When I complained to Carnival, they got very defensive and said I should have just left the tour. How is that possible I am just suppose to ride off with someones mini Hummer on a foreign island, not knowing where I am going.
The horseback ride through Puerto Rico was amazing and sailing in St Martin as well.
I was quite disappointed in the food each night in the Monet restaurant, Not what I remember from my last cruise. Just plain, most night we had to try a 2nd item since the 1st was mediocre.
it was fun and relaxing, but considering the food and the attitude I received after being robbed after the excursion in Turks, we will travel with Disney Cruise line in the future. I will gladly pay more for better service and experience.
