Review summary

My husband's first cruise and he loved it. Will continue to cruise with Carnival.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Lines moved pretty fast. Process took less than 30 mintues.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Sea day brunch had good options. Hubby and I had steak and eggs. Great. Ate buffet breakfast other days. Great choices. Hubby favorite, bacon, only offered on first day at buffet but he enjoyed other options. Omelet line long but worth the wait. We are in the MDR for dinner. Great way to try something new. Dinner was good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We really didn't join in much. We just relaxed.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
DJ was good. Comedians were ok. Don't have high expectations. The Motown show was good. The singers did a decent job.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everybody was extremely kind and helpful. Couldn't have gotten better service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
No issues. Bathrooms were clean. Our bathroom didn't smell great, but we kept the door closed and it was fine. Old plumbing so it is understandable.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great size, nice window, no fridge and walls are not magnetic. That was a bummer as I had planned to decorate the door.

Ship tip

Ignore the negative reviews. Have a great time!

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Went to Mr. Sanchos. Didn't book through carnival. Catch a taxi. 20 mintue drive. Lots of activities and shopping at the port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Takes about an hour so be patient. If you're not platinum or diamond you're not going first. Many people ignore the request to wait for your muster station so it takes longer for those who do follow the rules.

I’m glad your husband enjoyed his first cruise. Cruising together blesses you with wonderful memories of the fun you share together and remember forever. I selfishly love cruising because it feels like an extended date where I get to have my wife all to myself and rekindle the love we share for each other. I hope your enjoy many more cruises together. πŸ˜ŽπŸ™πŸ»πŸš’β˜€οΈπŸ©΄πŸπŸͺΈπŸ πŸŒΊπŸ™πŸ»
