Review summary

A+++++ satisfied as always! Love Carnival cruises. Met so many new people- everyone was so friendly. Can’t wait to go on my next cruise in a year!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy process on the ship- passports get on faster, but using birth certificate was fine as well!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was amazing- Love the Guys burger joint- best part of the ship other than the 24hr pizza!! Great buffers throughout the day & of course the sit down dinner you can’t go wrong. Plenty of options and chances for you to try new foods!

Service and Staff

Our service was Exceptional!!! They treat everyone like royalty... they know your name and everyone in your party! The 2 photos above are 2 of the people that took the best care of us- one @ dinner and the other in our rooms.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Great layout for it being a smaller ship!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Extremely comfortable.. plenty of room to get ready - shower was bigger than expected. Only thing I would have liked better is the refrigerator to be a little colder. I never asked to see if it could be done so it’s on me.

Ship tip

If you have a scheduled dinner- be on time! Noticed more sea movement on the smaller ship- don’t be concerned. 18yr olds can drink in the Bahamas be prepared! Lol

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We enjoyed Atlantis but not sure we would spend the money like that again. Not enough time to see the town and do the excursion. Don’t forget your photo ID to get back on the ship. We forgot our roof and I had to go through a special process took a little longer but was not a big deal.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Senior frogs was the best part of this port, unless you take an excursion out of the port or a taxi to take you to the other side of the island. When you arrive you see a very industrial port don’t be shocked.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
They stated that the support disembarks differently than any other. There were no issues at all with us getting off of the ship. They make sure that you are prepared to have all of the information available as you leave the custom. Easy as getting on!
