Review summary

This ship and cruise line is definitely good for a couple in college or a family. Definitely not top-tier when it comes to cruises, but it was great experience considering how cheap it was.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super fast and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The Drink Package was amazing! I highly recommend it, but the food was just okay. The buffet was always decent and the fine dining was a little disappointing

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The comedy shows were hilarious! I just wish there were more late night activities of shows, especially on the days in ports

Entertainment

We didn't see any while on the ship

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was incredible. Everyone was soo nice and clearly tried their best to insure an amazing experience

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
everything was clean and prestine! However, this ship was clearly an older model and it showed when we came into port and were clearly overshadowed by the dynamic newer ships with big screens and more pools, rock walls, etc..

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect for the 2 of us!

Ship tip

Bring dramamine just in case! You never know when some unexpected rough waters will get to you

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
Pretty to drive through! Honestly didn't spend that much time here

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Exactly what we were looking for! The beach and water was beautiful... but atlantis is a rip-off!!

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
It was nothing compared to nassau. We ended up just staying on the boat and enjoying some peace and quite by the pool, so that was actually refreshing

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
So quick and easy!

After my first cruise of using pills, I will use the patch for every cruise.

Inexpensive so families can enjoy an affordable vacation. Not for me, but I am glad Carnival offers these fares.
