Review summary

Beautifule ship - very clean and tons of things to do on board. The itinerary was fantastic with four extremely diverse and interesting islands. The stay in ports gave us plenty of time to explore and do everything we wanted to do. The selection of food seemed a bit boring - especially the breakfast menu, but the deli on board served up terrific reuben and corned beef sandwiches. Overall we were surprised as we did not expect the Carnival cruise to be as good as it was. On a final note, the nightly shows - especially singers and dancers were outstanding.

Had so much fun here shopping that we blew our budget for the week in just one morning - can't wait to go back.
Don't Miss: Jewelry shopping was outstanding - especially Ajanta at Drakes passage - better than the recommended stores by the ships

Bridgetown, Barbados

The beaches were beautiful - but wander away from the waterfront bars to buy food. The Blue Monkey wanted $16.60 for a hamburger!! We walked 2 blocks away to a little store that sold to locals and got four huge bajan lunches including drinks for $30.00!
Don't Miss: The beaches

Oranjestad, Aruba

We had a great ime on the Jolly Pirate cruise
Don't Miss: Snorkeling on the Antiila - a 400 foot long German freighter - Unbelievable fish and scenery

Pros: The super friendly staff

Cons: Nothing - everything was top notch
