Review summary

Not one of my favorite cruises, but wasn't the worst either. Entertainment was lacking this cruise, food was so-so. Met some great people though!

Ship tip

Remember, this is one of Carnivals oldest smallest ships. I think Carnival doesn't focus much energy on these older ships as they probably dont bring in the revenue the newer larger ships do. Not as many things to do, food is so-so, ship shows its age.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

My least favorite port in the Caribbean besides Freeport. Unless you have an excursion, I wouldn't even get off the ship. Ive been to Nassau so many times and nothing changes. Rude locals harassing you every 3 feet to buy something, get attitudes when you say no, dank dirty streets with shops selling all the same tourist junk.... I refuse to even get off the ship anymore un Nassau and I hate that sooooo many ships go there all the time.
