Review summary

Loved our cruise! Remember to purchase the CHEERS beverage program and download the Passport APP for Port Everglades. Great food and great drinks! Have FUN!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was good once we made it to the counter to receive our Sail and Sign cards but be prepared to wait. Crazy long lines and people have a tendency to cut in front of you.

Ship experiences

We went to the adult pool where it was quieter but the main pool had the live music, games, slide, etc.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship is super clean but the design was just OK.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the balcony! The room size is great and it was nice to have a couch. Our room was super clean. Our only issue was that the mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. I heard they were in the process of changing out mattresses every time they were in port but unfortunately we were not one of cabins who received one. Ugh!

Ship tip

If you drink alcoholic beverages purchase the CHEERS Beverage Program.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

3 out of 5
No excursions. We like Port Canaveral facility better.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
No excursions. The sand on the beach is white and powdery and the water is clean and beautiful! The buffet lunch was delicious. CAUTION if you decide to purchase beer on the beach, it isn't cheap. We were told that a bucket of 6 beers would cost $18 but when it appeared on our bill it was $47! Outrageous! I'd ask to see the amount in writing before deciding to purchase. Seriously overpriced and your CHEERS beverage program does not apply on the island.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
No excursions. It was fine if you want to shop.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Here we go again with the long lines. My suggestion to everyone is to download the Passport APP for Port Everglades, FL before you sail! People with this APP just sailed through customs without waiting in line. Check on the Carnival website for directions on how to download the APP. The next time I cruise I will make sure to download this APP!
