Review summary

I had a wonderful time, and I cannot wait to come back. The food was good. The days at sea were relaxing and the ports were fun. All of the staff were nice and some of them helped make my trip the best it could be.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
I had never been on a cruise, I did not know what to expect. Therefore, I was impressed with how smooth it went. However, there was a lot of confusion that could have been avoided if there were more and bigger signs .

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining was fantastic. We ate in the Scarlet room every night. Part of the reason for that was our head waiter, Joseph. Hew was so much fun. The food was good the service was fast and friendly. I also made friends with the people who sat at our table.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the comedy shows and the performances in the Encore room. I went to the piano bar and sang along with everyone We also learned to fold the towel animals. I think we would have gone to more if we had the early dinner. Several of the shows were not possible for us. We went on excursions and by the time we got back and dressed, the early shows were over. The late shows occurred while later dinner was happening. The timing needs to be changed a little.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Everything I saw was fantastic.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
I did not have any children with me. But I noted how much there was for them to do!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I did not meet one rude or unfriendly staff member.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean and fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was clean and it was kept clean. I loved the towel animals that were left on the bed in the room. I also noted that every person knew my name. I did not feel like a number.

Ship tip

A person cannot get from end of the ship to another on all floors. Spend some time learning the floor plans of the the ship.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

I really believe that it's the people (crew/staff/customer service team) of Carnival that make the difference between a good to great experience or simply a bad or sad one, so far I've been fortunate to have had great encounters on my sailings. I'm happy to hear that your experience was similar.
