Review summary

Great cruise on a small ship. Less people equals more attention from staff. Ship was clean and in good working order.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Getting through Customs and on the ship was smooth and very quick. Probably less than 1 hr start to finish.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The buffet was good, a Buffet. But guys burgers, the blue iguana, and celebration dining room were great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Smallest ship in carnival’s Fleet so don’t expect endless activities. But they did really well keeping things going.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The djs were great. Motown show was the best for stage shows. The country and game show too slow to keep ones attention.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was great, knew our names and preferences immediately.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was very clean for being carnival’s Oldest and smallest.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was perfect for a 4 day cruise. Didn’t really spend a lot of time there.

Ship tip

Book it. Small ship but it makes up for that in price and staff attention.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5

We picked up 23 illegal refugees floating in the gulf. They got to disembark first after being delayed 2+ hours. Very little communication from the ships crew explaining why we had to sit from 8am to almost noon before being allowed to disembark.

Glad you had a great cruise. Hate the disembarkation. Communication is always the first breakdown when something that is not normal occurs. Unfortunately, this will always be the case.
