Review summary

We have sailed with Carnival before and really enjoyed it but this one left a lot to be desired.

Cons: Smaller/older ship, bad food for breakfast and lunch and just OK for dinner, and unorganized event schedule with some venues double booked day after day.

Pros: Great islands, lots of stops, easy to board the ship, Puerto Rico has a great port to board.

The people are very aggressive - get an excursion or prepare to be harassed at the port
