Review summary

I really enjoyed it! Will admit that in a fun cruise you will find different types of cultural communities aboard and it's expected. It's America. If you want a quieter ship then suggest to go another brand cruise. I truly enjoyed my solo trip. The entertainment was over the top. Very talented musicians. The food was good and will say there served very small portions. I ate the meal and dessert to fill me up and was just right. Not good for someone who eats tons of calories. There was different cultural meals each day and was good. I wish there was a show cause I didn't see any on this ship. Just game shows. Quite enjoyed as much as I could besides taking photos and meeting people it was very pleasant experience. I blew it with my last photo purchased cause I must have not done the full transaction when I purchased through the Pixel photo equipment on the counter table.. I never got a receipt nor my digital photos. I did see the photo person but failed to acknowledged my missing photos. I put a claim but I believe it's gone. I will request a refund. My funds were taken out. I will never buy photos without the agent again. This was my only big disappointment experience.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I did took part on some of the events on the deck the day at sea. Didn't like the rules and what you had to do like dancing and some were so sexually oriented and graphic and not appropriate for little ones around. The host did call someone attention cause he did something extremely wrong to another guest watching he thought would be funny but it was vulgar and disgusting. As I said all types of culture differences aboard.

Entertainment

There was a Latin couple who were excellent as well as a single guitarist I could listen and be happy listening all day. I took their photo with my tiny camera.

Cabin / Stateroom

I was pleased with my cabin, one king size bed. It was super comfortable. I was happy I guess because it was alone and all the space for myself.

Ship tip

Keep it simple in dress code. I brought my favorite dresses and gym clothes and a small towel to carry on my backpack for the beach in case. I did well in my selection I had brought in my carryon. There's no iron so make sure clothes are wrinkles free. There was a short blow dryer and it did get the job done but not good for long hair cause it was attached to the drawer and cable was not giving in too much. I have short hair and it was easy. Not sure blow-drier is allowed in the luggage. Shampoo and body wash was provided and was nice. Do bring your conditioner and body lotion. There was a nice long mirror attached to one of the closet doors. There were 3 closets. Nice!

I had taken most of my photos on my tiny camera so I don't have it on my phone to show you. All was orderly and easy to follow. I may have one photo waiting at the lobby.

Traveler Photos

Hi I had taken most of my photos on my tiny Olympus camera for takes better photos than my cellphone. I only had this one on my phone. Overall experience in Bimini it was disappointing because it was so tiny just 7 miles long. People are poor and nothing to see except to help support the locals being suitable souvenir s. I would be depressed if I had to live the way they do. It was sad. Grand Cayman is 100 % nicer and developed. I wanted to see Atlantis hotel and didn't know which island it was from. Maybe I'll do a Nassau next trip and last one for the Bahamas. Grand cayman is 100 % better and worthwhile.

I was pleased with my cabin for I had requested the king size bed and it was provided. I was happy with my room and bathroom. Everything was to my comfort. I did observed there was no iron!! I couldn't wear a dress I brought but had another selection just in case. Honestly, they should provide one cause, dresses do get wrinkle in the luggage unless is polyester.

Apple a la mode waffle came with my oatmeal. That was my choice that morning.

This band was over the top. This was perfection and their vocals was amazing. Talented musicians.

This was the last night and they were wonderful and attentive. It was so pleasant to be served and they were constantly asking was everything good and if not they immediately corrected it my prime rib. It was delicious! I felt like a 👑. Thank you!

This was a lunch and chose my item . All was good.

Nice to meet waiters from different countries. Indonesia, Philippines, Bali.

This was early morning I went to jog on the track. All was clean and well maintained.

Serenity is for adults only who seek privacy and was nice. This was my first night in the ship.

For future reference on Carnival ships, there is an iron in the passenger laundry room some only have an iron rooms (on most decks with cabins). Glad you enjoyed your solo cruise.
