Review summary

All in all I would sail this ship again, with the exception of freeport, never will I go there again. between the crew members and the upkeep of the ship it was a great experience. we had a lot of fun, and carnival took good care of us regarding the delay from the hurricane. carnival in general gained a lot of respect from us. we have already booked three more cruises and are waiting to head out!

Embarkation

even with less than favorable circumstances, the staff and crew did an outstanding job

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
buffets where very bland with minimal choices. what they did have was fairly good food tho.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
A lot to do for a small ship. times where all jacked up due to the delay from the hurricane, but crew did a great job compromising.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
shows where awesome! punchliner comedy shows where really good as well. only think I can think of is that if there is an area where they don't want pictures or recordings done, it should be posted somewhere

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
everyone was very accommodating, we where delayed a day due to hurricane, but all the crew did an amazing job.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
very pretty ship, its age is starting to show though. but all in all I would definitely go on another cruise on this particular ship

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
very clean, state room attendant was great, fresh lines daily. size was very nice, windows are getting old and clouded, kind of decreased the visibility for an Oceanview room.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

4 out of 5

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

1 out of 5
this port is a joke, on top of it being small with rude vendors, the taxi and entrance fee to the beach would have cost us an addition $100. not happening. Wont be doing a cruise to freeport again, rather on carnival or another cruise line. by far the worst port I have been to, we have been on 11 cruises to date.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
easy and very well organized. excellent job!

I’ve been to Freeport once and never again. There’s hardly anything to do. Seems like a light industrial area with a beach.

I agree on Freeport. Crappy place to visit.
