Review summary

This was our fourth Carnival cruise. The only distraction was the ship veering in the Mississippi River during dinner to avoid a barge without lights. However, it was quite entertaining to our small group Absolutely fun and relaxing! Participated in a fair amount of onboard activities, but made time to layout pool side and kick back in a lounge or two enjoying good drinks. All Carnival staff were amazing! Friendly, personable and professional. Thanks!

Enjoyed the comedy Club immensely! Caroline Picard was hillarious; nonstop. Very friendly and down to earth following her performance.

Service and Staff

Marco demonstrated leadership in directing his wait staff. Aleksander was super! Very friendly and attentive. It was a pleasure to chat with him for a few minutes when we ran across him elsewhere on the ship. Kudos to him for recognizing and acknowledging us first.

Cabin / Stateroom

Rubi was terrific! Our cabin was everything as expected, and we expect a lot. Always a good feeling to be called by name and greeted several times each day.

Ship tip

Prepare for relaxation. With so many activities to choose from, and many excursions, don't feel like you need to do everything. Plan on kicking back at pool side or in a lounge for a short bit.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Fast and easy parking at Carnival embarkation point. New Orleans is a fun city. French Quarters are packed as always, but doable.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Easy off, easy on. All-inclusive at Secrets Wild Orhcid resort. Fantastic. Moderate crowd. Service was excellent. Swim up bar in pool was perfect.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Tender boat ride to shore is undesirable but it certainly doesn't change my opinion of an excellent port of call. Our excursion included 7 mile beach and a short visit to Hell. While the beach space was limited, it was still quite nice. The water was fantstic!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
The Best! Lot of shopping within the port, as well as, food and drink. However, Cozumel has so much to offer. Our 4th trip here and finally made it to Passion Beach. We did not want to leave!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We carried off our luggage. Easy and smooth.
