Review summary

We had a great cruise. Service was awesome all around. Food was as expected on a ship with over 3000 people. Suggest having realistic expectations and you'll be fine.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had Faster to the Fun, and it was just that. Fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Service was excellent across the board. Food was very good, not great. But this is a ship with 3000+ people and that's to be expected. It's Carnival, not the Queen Mary. Would like to see a little more variety in the MDR menu day to day.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Didn't really use these.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Terrific service from everyone we encountered.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Layout is good, rarely felt crowded. Don't really care for the decor, it seems odd to me. That had no impact on us though.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Room was fine - as expected. Everything worked, everything was clean. No issues.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

Always love Cozumel. Lots of excursion choices to match anyone's needs.

Thumbs Up 5

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

3 out of 5

Would like to see more choices in Progreso without having to take a bus to Merida (45 min) or the ruins (2 hours). It's a poor city. We shopped in port and in town. The condition doesn't bother me, but I do understand why many people choose to stay on the ship. It's a shame.
