Though the ocean was very rough we thoroughly enjoyed our first cruise and can not wait to go back. The staff on this ship made it very memorable. The ship was beautiful and we made lots of new friends.
Embarkation

Our check in time was between 12:30-1. We arrived, parked and got in line. The line was long but went rather quickly. We were sitting on the back of the boat eating Guy's Burger by 1:15.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Main dining room was beautiful! The service was wonderful. The food we ate was good. Guy's Burger was yummy. Luckily we always hit it at a good time and never had to wait in a long line. The Tiffany buffet was good and had a variety of items. We ate pizza one night and it was pretty good.

Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
There were 4 hot tubs. Two on the lido deck with the pool and two on the serenity deck. They were always full. The pool looked nice and clean. We never got in it though. Putt Putt was fun and we had a wonderful view as we played. There were no score cards but we had fun anyway. The Casino was fun and had a good selection of games. But it is where people can smoke. The Water Works area look fun. My husband even wanted to go down the slide but we never got around to doing it.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Something was always going on. The Comedians were hilarious. There were various shows, trivia's, and contests. My favorite shows were Love and Marriage, The Hasbro Game Show and Epic Rock. I enjoyed playing Bingo and spent a little time in the casino. The Carnival Hub app was the best thing. Every night we would look at what was going on the next day and add it as our favorites. The app would send me a reminder the next day of the events as it got close to time.
Service and Staff

The staff and service on this ship was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the energy, kindness, and hospitality we received. Our room steward Alexander was the best!!!
Ship Quality

Everything was always clean and well-maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Our cabin was a great size for my husband and I. It had a nice ocean view window. There were plenty of storage areas and usb ports as well. I just wish that they would wash the windows at each port or just once in the middle of the cruise. The window gets dirty and it is hard to see out of.
Ship tip
Enjoy every minute of it and make as many new friends as you can!
We did not do an excursion but did get off the ship. We visited the shops at the port and walked to the straw market. They are very pushy there. Then we walked to Junkanoo Beach. It is a free beach that is probably a 15 minute walk from the port. It was beautiful but the water was very cold. It has a wonderful view with a lighthouse. We enjoyed just sitting on the beach taking it all in. Afterwards we took a cab back to Senor Frogs but ended up eating at a Bahamian restaurant near by. The worst experience of our whole trip!!! Then we walked back to the ship.
Easiest part. We chose to carry off our luggage. Best decision ever! Disembarkation began at 8:30 and we were the 2nd group called. We were in the car pulling out of the port at 8:47.
