Review summary

I would recommend this ship and cruise team. They were awesome! Keven was very entertaining! 72% if the people were first time cruisers. Lots of children on this ship and they were well behaved. The children’s program seem to keep them busy.

Nassau, Bahamas

I would recommend going to Atlantas! Book your excursion through carnival. Do not take a cab. The cab driver changed another cruiser price on the way there. From 100$ to 200$ so the people got out of the cab half way to Antlantis.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

Booked a hut on the beach. The hut came with soft drinks, water, 4 chairs, two floats, chips and salsa, fruit, veggies and snorkel gear. Great value!
