Review summary

I had such a blast on this cruise. We were lucky to only have one rough day at sea. I will always remember the staff and what a great job they did. I look forward to sailing with carnival again in the future.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation process was very smooth. This was my first cruise experience so I wasn't sure what to expect, but the crew on board was extremely helpful and nice. We didn't have any problems.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food on the ship was amazing. We only had one problem where they cooked our steaks wrong but they caught it immediately before it even reached our table. Everything was very clean and well kept.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did a lot of the trivia games. Lord Anthony and the cruise director Gary were both amazing. They made it very entertaining for everyone. I was laughing the whole time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shoes were very energetic and fun. Lots of crowd participation and fun for all ages. The DIs were a blast and up beat.

Children's Programs

We didn't have children in our group

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiters and servers in the main dining room were fantastic. We had Yusa and Erix (spelling?) They were both amazing men and very attentive to anything we needed. They did an amazing job and I highly recommend them. Our room steward was Jhonni who introduced himself the first night. He was very kind. Every time we passed he would greet us by name and made sure our stay was very comfortable. Our rooms were always clean. The bartenders on the ship were also very good. They made sure to get our drinks in a timely manner. Kirby at the red frog rum bar was hilarious and very kind.( If you have the bubbles package ask him how much orange juice is).

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was very clean. The cleaning crew were on top of everything when it came to cleaning.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The beds were very cozy and clean. The towels were spotless and nearly folded every time.

Ship tip

It is the smallest boat in their fleet so we did feel the rocking a lot. All in all we had a lot of fun. I would deffinetly go again no questions asked.

Ports of call

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
The beach was amazing. We had a bbq lunch that was very good. The water was so clear and beautiful. It was a little cold getting in but warmed up very quickly.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We chose to just walk around and visit the local shops. The prices were decent and the people fairly friendly. There were a few pushy vendors but security did a good job of keeping them in line. Just remember to tell them no thank you if your not interested and it will be ok.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We got off the boat in a timely manner. If you can carry your luggage off the boat I recommend you do so. It was very quick and we didn't have to stand in line for more than 20 minutes or so.
