Review summary

Absolutely loved Nassau and Princess Cay. Despite having rough, very rough, seas coming back In, I’d take this cruise again! Thanks for the fun, Ecstasy!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
From the parking lot, to the boat, in total it took about 20 minutes MAX. So much faster than our first cruise out of Mobile which took over an hour and a half.

Our steward, Yudah, was exceptional! Always greeting us by name and asking about our trip or day and were we having a good time. He is truly an asset to Carnival.

DO IT! Experience the chef’s dinner with Gypson, it was simply amazing! Can’t wait to go again!

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

5 out of 5
So easy! From parking to boarding, 20 mins tops!

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful place to visit. Prepare to be bombarded by people wanting to take you on excursions, which we denied, and opted to walk around ourselves. It was truly a beautiful place.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Highlight of the trip absolutely spectacular! Crystal clear water at the beach and the bluest of blue water in the ocean. Would visit here again. The only drawback, the seas are very rough heading back into port Canaveral/Jacksonville and with 59 mph winds, it made for a queasy night. Make sure to bring Dramamine!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
One in our party needed a wheelchair and we were allowed to disembark 2 hours ahead of our deck. The steward stayed with us all the way to customs. Top notch care👍🏻

We went on the Ecstasy while trying to Dodge Hurricane Dorian. Now that was some rough seas 😅 The Capt and crew did a great job with trying to stay in calmer seas.
