Review summary

This was a family Thanksgiving vacation for us and I think everyone had fun in their own way. There was something to do for everyone. It was just as much fun as it was relaxing. Can’t wait to book our next one!

Embarkation

Very fast getting on the ship. We had FTTF so our room was ready right away.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The main dining room was our favorite. We also loved the deli and guys burgers. Sea day brunch was very good too. Definitely main dining had the best food. Of course my little one loved the ice cream available all day!

Children's Programs

We didn’t put our little one in the daycare but we did take him to Dr. Seuss parade, story time and build a bear workshop and he loved every minute of it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our dining room waiters, Joyce, Jowie & Jerico were so great! They were especially good at keeping my crazy little boy entertained.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Workers cleaning around the ship all the time. Very clean. We were able to navigate around the ship with no problems.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was a perfect size for 3 of us. My little boy loved the bunk bed. We absolutely loved the balcony.

Ship tip

Whether you had FTTF or not , you got onto the ship fast. The FTTF did help in avoiding lines at guest services, having your room ready when you get on and getting off the ship faster. Download the Carnival Hub app as that will help you navigate the ship, keep up with your account, chat with other passengers, etc. If you see more than one thing that you want at dinner, order it.
