Review summary

Overall great cruise. There was a horrible smell on one of the floors. (Sewage smell) never heard what the problem was. But they seemed to work on it the whole trip. Had my 2nd spa on the same ship, overall great! Dealing with them over prepaid was HORRIBLE both times! I plan to never buy another spa on carnival ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was smooth for the most part. Most (not all) staff at Jax Port was rude. When they started calling zones anyone who was just arriving started boarding no matter what their zone was. Made it a little crowded.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We mainly ate in the dining room, Guys Burger & Bluelguana. The food was absolutely delicious!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pool, I was disappointed, I had a black tank top on, when I got out it looked like it had been bleached. Same with my husbands hat. We have never had this happen. Our daughter loves the slides but she didn’t slide much this time, her along with everyone else would get stuck and have to push themselves down.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Everything was great minus the Piano Bar, that guy was EXTREMELY RUDE to everyone he came in contact with! He needs a new job!

Children's Programs

Absolutely awesome!!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Love the layout, every place was clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Of course with this being an initiator room with 4 people it was cramped. But the cabin stayed clean.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

5 out of 5
We didnt do anything, but we love Jacksonville

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Shopping, straw market is pretty big, locals are pushy, and GIRLS, they want to braid your hair! They say $2 but that’s per braid and they do them small. So watch out, you could end up paying $50-$100

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Love Princess Cays! We suggest you bring water shoes/socks. It is a bit rocky

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
