This cruise was a very nice, relaxing and fun experience one which we would do again. We are just waiting for different Carnival ships to go on out of this port.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Overall it was a good experience. Would suggest bigger signs to help navigate your way after giving the checked luggage to the porter but if you don't know then just ask.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We only visited the main dining room once and the food was good but we opted for the buffet and other areas. The drinks were really good just pricey as usual.
Redfrog Rum Bar
5 out of 5
We loved this bar and stay there most of the cruise. We enjoyed the beer and drinks. The atmosphere and vibe were superb and while all of the bar staff we're really good I would have to say Yoga is the most entertaining of all. Thank you Yoga!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pool was nice but water was cold. Kids all piled in the hot tubs as usual and we didn't feel like seeing what would happen if we tried getting in which would be one of two outcomes LOL
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The comedy show kept me laughing even after it was over.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Everyone had a smile on their face when they greeted us and seemed to really care about your experience on board.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
They keep this ship very clean. I just wish there was a way to get from the front to the back and vice versa without having to go to the middle of the ship in order to get to the opposite end. Perhaps there's a trick we're not aware of - Lol. This was the same as the Fantasy and Sensation. It's not a problem just thought I'd mention it.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The size was fine for us. Cozy and clean. The cabin steward, Hector was outstanding! He attended to our every need and was very professional. He cared about us. Thank you Hector!
It's convenient to drive to. Wish they would do some upgrades and bring in other ships. Would also like to see better pricing out of Charleston but I understand being a smaller port and other factors contribute to the pricing.
It was nice and fun to explore. Be ready for the flies at the BBQ for lunch...lol. The staff did what they could with them but couldn't help it of course.
We have been here before and enjoyed the shopping. Did shopping this time as well. Visited the Queen's staircase and Junkanoo Beach with a stop at the Tiki Bar of course. We had an Excursion planned for the VIP luxury sailboat but it was cancelled due to not enough participation. We were so looking forward to going on it but made the best of walking around doing the historical sightseeing, shopping and beach experiences.
It was a very good experience from times before. Can go eat, pick up your liquor and move around the ship as you wish instead of certain time frames being forced to sit and wait to leave like it used to be. Nicely done Carnival!
