Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We were pleased with the overall size of the room and bathroom. The closet space allowed us to completely unpack and not live out of suitcases.

Ship tip

It's perfect for first time cruises in my opinion because it's not the biggest out there. It gives you a chance to learn how to get around and what all the possibilities are on a cruise. We truly enjoyed!

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
We embarked at this port but loved driving around and seeing the town prior to our cruise.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We did our own excursion. We were there on their Independence Day holiday, therefore many things were closed.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5
We did our own excursion save the tour guide was awesome! Showed us the area the tourists don't normally go. We had a great visit to this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy and simple process!

How was the noise coming from outside of the cabin? Since, it is close to the elevators and the staircase?

Carnivals cabins tend to be a little larger and the suites have lots of closet space.

I had an Ocean massage. It was the best massage I have ever had by Karlene. It was a splurge but very well worth it!😊

Something about a massage at sea. We did a couples, topside in a cabana with ocean view. Memorable!!
