Review summary

We had an amazing time! This was a graduation present for my daughter. There was plenty to do and we stayed very busy. The food is a whole other story - the food was AMAZING! I am pretty sure we ate our cruise fair in just the food! Definitely worth it for the food alone. The staff were the nicest people I have ever come in contact with and they definitely make a huge difference in the experience. We are already discussing taking another cruise next summer but adding a lot more people to it!

Unknown...my daughter was old enough to do everything I did so we did not participate in the children's programs.

Service and Staff

Christopher was our room steward and I just love him! He is so sweet and very good at what he does. Our restaurant staff were on the ball and awesome! The entertainment crew - Jase and Katie were hilarious and seem very good at what they do!

Security through the terminal was a nightmare - the people were very rude at times but I am not sure if they were actually part of Carnival or if they were government/security/customs employees.

The shopping and beach was amazing! Definitely will be returning to visit the straw market again but beware as the locals are extremely PUSHY!
