Entertainment
5 out of 5
We had a fantastic time at a few comedy shows. The stage show was great. The musicians were all really good. We played trivia a couple of times. Our favorite, by far, was the piano bar! Ben Gentry is amazing!
Children's Programs
We did not have any children with us.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The service was great. Joni, our steward was very attentive and took great care of us. The waiters, bartenders, etc all had great attitudes. They all had smiles on their faces and just made everything so much more enjoyable. The servers at the piano bar; Sashy, Luann and Kimberly made sure everyone had fun. The interacted with everyone, danced & sang with us. They were great! Our dining room service was top notch. Unfortunately, I don't recall all their names. I do recall Isabello, Agus, Cris, & Dewya. They were so friendly and attentive.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
This was my first cruise, so I didn't have anything to compare it to, but I thought the ship was beautiful. Some of the colors were a little outdated, but still fun. The staff did a great job keeping everything clean, despite the messes people left everywhere. Some of the passengers were so disrespectful to the ship, leaving garbage everywhere, but the staff was on it.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Loved the cabin. The bed was so comfortable. Best sleep I have had in a long time. Joni kept it spotless.
Ship tip
There is so much to do onboard. Try it all. Experience something new. You won't regret it.
We had a blast riding the ATVs, ziplining, and cave tubing. The lunch was pretty good too. Our tour guide, Shana, was THE BEST! She gave us so much history of Belize, made a laugh, and kept it real. There is a reason she has been voted best Tour Guide twice!
Beautiful port. We went to the Islands Beach Club and had the time of our lives. We went swimming in the ocean and beautiful fish came out of nowhere, so we decided to go snorkeling. The water was so clear, and the fish were so bright. It was my favorite place to shop as well. Lots of places to shop, with different things.
That is great doing your first cruise with Carnival. We started with them and Fun ship is where we stay..hope to see you on a future sailing thanks for sharing
Great first cruise review!! Makes me remember my first cruise. I was blown away by it all and in that moment I told my wife, “We were born to do this!!”. 😂❤️🛳️
