Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Buffet was excellent, if you didn't find something you liked, you're just a picky eater. Guy's Burger, Blue Iguana, BBQ on 10th floor all Fantastic. Ice cream bar wasn't great, taste like flavored ice.
Dining room always clean and our head Waiter Lukman was fantastic would sing and didn't have a bad voice, had magic tricks and kept us laughing. Where were the shrimp and grits?

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Comfy bed, ocean view no obstruction, good size room for 2, kept clean by our steward Wayan
still recovering from hurricane, but beautiful island in spite of. Yes, did the land and sea package included zipline, horseback riding, atv, and snorkling. Booked excursion through Carnival, thought it was reasonably priced for all 4 activities
How did we end up here? It was a National Holiday majority of shops and restaurants closed, no parades or anything. Not much interaction with the locals. Just got off the ship after being on there for 2 days at sea. and here for 13 hours with nothing much to do , but get back on the ship. Our iternary had already been changed and this is what Carnival came up with. Very disappointed.
I am glad to hear that you had a good time. Sometimes you just have to be a little flexible and it sounds like you were. It just means that on your next cruise you have to go to Aruba on a week day. Lol. Happy Cruising
