Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship is big, clean and fun. It might be the oldest of the Carnival fleet but it never felt like it. Everything was kept up and wonderful.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was spacious, clean, comfortable. King size bed was wonderful.

Ship tip

If it's winter months pack extra change of clothes for cold days. We had 2 unbearable days we didn't plan for 65 mph winds and 45 degree weather. Weather is unpredictable so pack accordingly!!!

Ports of call

Mobile, Alabama

Nice, clean and friendly

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
Had such an amazing time in Progresso, we didn't do an excursion just went to site see. Was so afraid to go due to other reviews, So glad we went!!! True Mexico loved Progresso way more than Cozumel by far. Such wonderful friendly people with markets lining the streets. The beach was nice and we stayed for a few hours under a Palapa eating chips & salsa w/ coca cola playing in the sand collecting shells. We bought some wonderful hand made items, some silver & met a lot of sweet local people. Felt very safe and overall had a Great Day!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
So easy, checked bags are so much easier for disembak. Put tags on luggage set luggage by door at night time. Next morning eat breakfast walk around, disembark & pick up luggage in secure location. Great!!!
