Loved Turks and Caicos!! Best port, best water, best food. Very disappointed in Amber Cove and the Elation ship, just was't much to do. But overall, nice cruise.

Twin beds suprisingly very comfortable and A Hung was the absolute best! Loved my towel animals and that we didn't have to ask for much. He learned what we liked the first night.

VERY DISAPPOINTING. No beach, only shops and only less than a mile of that.

BEST PORT EVER! WOULD LOVE TO STAY OVER NIGHT AT THIS PORT. Boat ride was AWESOME and yes, the waters are as clear as everyone stays. Also loved that the beach was literally right off the ship.

Nothing to do? Amber Cove has a great pool, zip Line, free loungers, Shops, Restaurants, etc. Every Carnival ship I have been on has multiple activities scheduled throughout the day and evening. I am happy to lay on a lounger and read all day.

Great time

We didn’t like this cruise. First the AC in the rooms were not working properly. I called guess services and I am still waiting. I booked 3 rooms and all 3 had AC trouble.
