Review summary

My initial expectations were what in the world am I going to do on a boat for 7 days. After the first day I was set straight. So many activities, from the entertainment in the Encore Lounge, to the Comedy Club in the Burgundy lounge. They truly make you forget you are even on a boat. The food was always readily available. Great staff from top to bottom.

Wish Carnival would have something besides the Caliente nightclub for the 18-20 year range.

Just wonderful and polite people.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship looked great. Wish Carnival would build some bigger swimming pools as these are the major hang out spots while at sea.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
A little cramped for 4 people. Was told it would hold 5 but no way is that cabin handling 5 people. Cleanliness was excellent.

Ship tip

Get out and explore. There are so many things going on around the ship. they keep you busy and entertained.

Wonderful people. You can get lost on the beach as the water and sand are to die for. Did the Dolphin encounter. Excellent

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
This port is by far the best for shopping. Did the Surf and Turf, 4X4 Terra Cross with speed boats. Excellent.

Disembarkation
