Review summary

My 1st cruise & I loved it. We went home & booked our next cruise 391 days out. Carnival treated us well. We loved all the pampering but made it rough coming home to reality.. Lol. Seas were rough a couple of days, didn't like that but got use to it, wasn't able to dock at Grand Cayman because of it but I still rate my 1st experience at a 5*

Lots of games to play, entertainment was great, soaked in the hot tub several times, played miniature golf, walked the track.. It was all great. Had a wonderful cruise director Emma. She was very energetic.

Cabin / Stateroom

Loved our little cozy cabin & the balcony. Wish there were more plug ins & it got a little warm in our cabin from time to time but other than that we loved it.

Rough seas, we didn't get to visit 😢

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

The port was beautiful but the town as a little bit scary. We took a tour of the area through Marvin's Paradise tours which we enjoyed & ate some jerk chicken, it was good.
