Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I enjoyed all the food areas. My favorite place was Guys pig and anchor (I think its the name). Brisket & beans were awesome.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I played Bingo, Deal or no Deal. Those are fun but do cost money. My favorite on the ship is Carnival Quest. It’s an adult scavenger hunt. I went on my last Carnival cruise. I will ALWAYS go to these ! If you have never been to the Quest, you should !

Entertainment

Didn’t attend any shows

Children's Programs

No children with me

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My room steward called me by name every time he saw me. The guys on the lido deck were also very friendly. Always smiling.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Staff is very good at keeping things clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I had an interior cabin. My room is only for sleeping and changing clothes. I do not stay in there long. Bed was comfortable.

Ship tip

If it’s a long trip, bring laundry soap.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
I live in Texas

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
I did the trolly ride around the island. Although it rained, I would definitely go here again. The port area is filled with historical buildings.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Again it rained. My excursion was cancelled. There’s not much to do here at the port. Just shops and a few bars.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island) Did not visit port

Weather did not permit us to visit so we skipped this port

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
I did an excursion for snorkeling and iguanas. Very tiny island. This I would not do again. Excursion part of island took about an hour. The rest of the time, you either drink or swim.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
My first time as a digital disembarkation. I thought it went very smoothly. I had an item confiscated & there are not signs as where to pick up your stuff. I had to ask several people. Only one person was able to direct me in the right direction.

I was wondering how they were going to do all of this. Did you do Key West two days before Milton's landfall? Or at the end of the cruise?
