Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Beautiful dining rooms, good food, amazing staff. Drinks fell short of expectations.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Comedy shows, spa\gym, 80's tribute show, health seminars, casino gambling, corn hole games, trivia. We enjoyed most activities. The casino is the exception, multiple guests agree something was up with the machines.... Save your $$$.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was amazing especially our room steward Su....? and our dining waiters Samsu and Joel. Really enjoyed them best staff I've ever been blessed with.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything super clean and well maintained. Bathroom design needs a little work very tight quarters.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was ok, 2 adults and 2 kids made it work. Clean room but felt dated and old. Plenty of storage for the small cabin size.

Ship tip

Download the carnival hub app very useful on the ship. Plan activities, chat with family and friends, maps, activities, and check your sail n sign account.

4 out of 5
Went to 7 mile beach dropped us off at the palms hotel, very nice but extremely pricey for drinks, chairs, umbrellas we would only use for a few hours. #tourist trap!

Montego Bay, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Hop on Hop off excursion Dr.s Cave beach, Margaritaville, shopping. Nice beach, reasonable drinks beach chairs ect... Had a good time there but a little annoying when you get 6 offers to sell you pot in the first 6minutes your there.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

I think we may have passed each other in the port -- I was getting off as you were getting on! I agree with most of what you stated. The staff is outstanding for the most part, but the ship needs some care.

The room stewards name was Sugeng. Very personable and very good at what he does. Great job!
