Review summary

We love Carnival cruises. I have relatives who always sail on higher priced cruise lines. If your goal is to relax on a cruise, have good food, and see beautiful ports, Carnival will do that for you for half the price.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The line moved along at a steady pace, and there were no complications.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Imagination dining room is always fun with different menus. The servers are friendly.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There are lots of onboard activities. The pool was often crowded except when the ship was in port. The fitness center is wonderful.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
You can almost always find music to relax to. The rock and roll show was really good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The servers were very attentive.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We requested no cleaning service for the cruise (they have enough to do). Our cabin was large enough for what we needed. On a cruise, you don't want to spend much time in your room.

Ship tip

Dont overpack. Use the express checkout and take your own bags. It is faster.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida Did not visit port

We sailed from there. There is nothing to do there.

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
The beach is beautiful. Take sandals or water shoes, because the sand hs lots of little rocks in it. The water is perfectly clear. In January it is a little cold in the water.

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

I have been to Nassau 3 times. Unless you want to do a paid excursion, there isn't really much to do except eat.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We used the express disembarkation process, and were off the ship within 15 minutes of lining up.
