Review summary

Disappointed Carnival changed the itinerary. May do it again in the future.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
All things considered, embarkation went well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The staff in the MDR are being overwhelmed! Other than Blue Iguana, the food was kind of bland

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Didn’t use the amenitirs, but did watch a lot of the poolside fun and games

Entertainment

Comedy club was ok. One of the comedians interacted too much with one family making their 13 year old son, the butt of his jokes. Would’ve rather heard his own material.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Watch what you buy on ship. Not only did they sell a cigar that fell apart, but they switched bottles of liquor.

LOVED IT! Look for Leo the taxi driver He can give you a personalized tour all over

Cartagena, Colombia

3 out of 5
Very crowded, but the short bus ride took us to an aviary and small zoo.

Colon, Panama

1 out of 5
SKETCHY. Even one of the cops said it was not safe to venture too far out

Puerto Limon, Costa Rica

5 out of 5
Took the boat bus and train ride. Got to see lots of wild animals and really learned a lot about the area.

Cozumel, Mexico Did not visit port

Been there too many times

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest I’ve ever been through!
