Review summary

Carnival Cruises has really upped their game as far as stateroom service and having rooms ready when you board. It's nice to be able to drop off our stuff before heading up to the Lido Deck for a delicious lunch. So much always going on to have fun with or a nice little nap in our room, whatever you choose.

My only complaint, our blue towels were not replaced after we used them. Everything else was grand, food on Lido and in the dining room were all delicious. We were paired with lovely people for dinner and the waitstaff were quite accommodating . Lots of happy faces for a short, enjoyable, relaxing cruise.

not my favorite but definitely need to see Atlantis, at least just to walk in a gawk. And be sure to bargain with the street vendors, the further inland you go, the cheaper things are.

I'm so glad to see a positive review for Carnival. So often I feel like I only see negatives and we always have a great experience with them.

So happy to read a favorable review on Carnival. Did you ask the steward to bring you new blue towels? We often leave a note on the bed for the steward since sometimes we don't see him for a day or two. I admit that he should have replaced them on his own.
