Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The Posh Restaurant
One of our waiters was Edwin the waiters and the wait staff was excellent great food and flavor no complaints, but not everybody was told to take the ball caps off or leave and change when they came in on elegant night or are you or any other night and it strictly says no gym shorts and a sleeveless shirts and no ball caps, so I donât know what is up with that and why they werenât made to leave or change
Pizza Pirate
This was very good had a lot of flavor although I wish they had a little bit more toppings and werenât so skimpy on the toppings that they did provide, also wish they had a thick crust offer or even stuffed crust offer
Redfrog Rum Bar
This was probably my most favorite place and I visited the most drinks for nice and strong quick courteous service in a lot of flavor to the drinks

Blue Iguana Cantina

Onboard Activities
Babylon Casino
Was not too impressed with this because it closed in the port of Jamaica and not everybody went into the port of Jamaica so the people left on board ship could not do the casino because they closed it, I think that is fairly foolish and creates issues for customers and people that do not wish to visit Porter Jamaica especially during high security threats and risks
Spa Carnival
Everything here was OK we had paid for gratuity in advance and when we went in here my wife had the facial and I had acupuncture, I was good no complaints as far as the service, but we did not expect a hidden gratuity of $30 added no matter what, and me an everything here was OK we had paid for gratuity in advance and when we went in here my wife had the facial and I had acupuncture, I was good no complaints as far as the service, but we did not expect a hidden gratuity of $30 added no matter what, and Being sold or being tried to be sold extremely high services as far as supplements and such
Guest Services / Shore Excursions
Had no problems, the only item of issue was the kiosk for adding money there was only two of them, and guest services sometimes took a little bit because they only had short staff available, but promptly move people through when they added more people to the service line
Serenity
Was very nice and quiet me and my wife enjoyed it very much although the padding on the covered chairs couldâve been a little bit thicker and softer
Pool
Was great loved it no problems top notch
Photo Gallery
A lot of helpful people on staff, prices were a little steep, not all the pictures of the purchase due to poor lighting or angles
Hot Tubs
I donât know why but the tubs were not very hot not even really lukewarm at the time we visited them

The Millennium Lobby & Atrium
This area was very clean very nice bass courteous friendly service
