Review summary

Our ship host, was nice and entertaining. I really enjoyed the marriage show. We had a great family vacation of relaxing and fun! There were a lot of activities catered to purchasing items ( jewelry, paintings) - I’d prefer more family competitions or entertainment than trying to get me to buy more stuff. My oldest son was really looking forward to the club at night but he said it catered to the older/ senior crowd so he would stop in and leave. Maybe have another club for 21 - 30; or something to draw that crowd that love to party.

Onboard Activities

The adult area with hot tub, very relaxing!! Casino and the slot competition( so much fun although I lost)

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The married show was a 10 ( funny, most entertaining) - the Musicals were good but it lacks something. I couldn’t help but watch the awkward dance moves with a painful expression. The best singer has no rhythm but I give them points for doing their best.

Children's Programs

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
There were 3 of us and the layout had 2 overhead beds that my sons slept in, they didn’t complain. It was scary sleeping below them thinking the bed would fall on my head tho. Also there was a dirty towel below the ocean front window. It was there the entire time so I assumed it was blocking a leak in the window. That should be fixed, ASAP. Room R39.

Ship tip

It is perfect to bring your families. There a huge water park on the ship for the kiddos, they will have an excellent time. It seems smaller than Carnival Liberty but I would travel again with carnival!!

We went to a resort.. The best beach. The lunch was awesome and the rum punch was perfect. I’d love to return

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Love our tour guide that provided rum punch and escorted me to the beach with a cabana. It was relaxing. The beach was not as nice as Turks. I probably won’t return here. My sons participated in the waterfall -jump excursion. This is all they have talked about. Sounds so fun!!- I wish someone was there to take pics from the ship. I’m also glad that I didn’t sign up for it, sounds too intense for me. They had a blast tho.
