Review summary

The cruise overall was good. I can’t express enough how grateful we were for those who really stood out to us. On the ship: Paully, Brooks from Georgia, Philemon, Weng and Uduana. Excursion: Angie, Cozumel VIP Dolphin Swim. I cannot stress enough at how impressed we were with Paully. We are truly going to miss having his beautiful energy around us every day.

Everything moved smoothly and quickly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
There were a couple of times when we ate at the dining room where we had Davina, Basil and Nova. I don’t recall Nova but Davina and Basil weren’t too relatable. They did their job and we’re missing a lot of the time. We had a breakfast experience in the dining room with a different waiter that resulted the same way. Special shoutout to Philemon, Weng and Uduana! They were incredible! We were treated like royalty! I wish we had dined with them the whole time. The dining room food was good. The buffet food really wasn’t.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We did several things on board and it seemed like everything burned out very quickly. It felt like there wasn’t near as much to do as other ships. However! Anytime we were around Paully (Cruise Director), we were never disappointed. He has so much energy and so much love for everyone. He is so positive and gives everything in him to be the best he can be for those cruising. Paully, can we be best friends?!! Haha. He definitely should be acknowledged for everything he does for Carnival.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Everything Paully was involved with was absolutely incredible. We loved Paully! Also Aura Pop Duo were our favorite performers!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The only thing we noticed is our sheets weren’t changed out. I’m not sure if that’s policy or not but it was definitely noticed. It would’ve been nice for them to have been.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Small but comfortable. Just wish they had changed out the sheets is all.

Ship tip

Take your time. There isn’t as much to do as other ships. You’ll get burnt out quickly.

Ports of call

Mobile, Alabama

5 out of 5
Embarkation went smooth and quick

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

2 out of 5
*Progreso*- the excursion we did (lazy river, swim in cenote, etc) was awesome. However, we would not choose to go to Progreso again. It did not feel safe to us and we had a lot of locals following us around whistling at us like dogs to come back and buy from them. I know it’s their way of life but it was unsettling.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Incredible! Beautiful! Fun! Felt safe! We did the VIP experience with the dolphin swim and snorkeling with the sting rays. It was an amazing experience and we would definitely do it again! Shout out to Angeles (Angie)! She was an incredible hostess on our excursion! Loved her!

Disembarkation
