Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiters were wonderful , everyone was friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Layout was a bit confusing, but I think that’s a function of the age of the ship. Design was gaudy, but my kids loved all the colors. Ship was clean, and maintained well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin is small, but Dennis the steward was amazing

Ship tip

Don’t go if your going for pool.... WAY TOO CROWDED.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5

4 out of 5

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Not much to do here.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Took forever, but that wasn’t Carnivals fault. Customs had only 2 people working for 4 ships coming in.

I couldnt agree more. 6 carnival cruises later I've had a bad experience or two, but overall had a blast every time. I say all the time, "You make it what it is". There is so much positive, and fun to me had, and made on a cruise.
