Review summary

One of the best cruises I have ever been on! So much fun! I could not think of a better way to spend spring break!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great embarkation! Quickest service I have ever had with any cruise line!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Buffets were incredible (as usual)! Unfortunately we didn’t feel like going to the dining, but if it’s half as good as everything on board it is incredible! The chef’s table is a once in a lifetime experience , and is well worth the money!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The activities were great! So much fun! I got so many positive reactions from my shark suit (yes I am the shark girl)! I highly recommend joining in whenever you can, even if you normally don’t!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The morning shows were so informative, and we loved the comedy as well! Music (in both the lobby and on deck) were great!

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
Camp Ocean is wonderful! We had a six year old boy joining us who loved the Build-A-Bear along with other activities! We have not had tried out the clubs for older kids, but highly recommend the group for younger ones! It’s great for parents AND kids!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Since we did not try the dining room, we only got to see the Chef’s Table waiters, but they were exceptional! Our room steward always went above and beyond, and was always happy to take any requests. The rest of the staff on board were truly amazing! Super polite and upbeat!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout can sometimes be confusing, especially when trying to find certain areas. But overall the cleanliness of the ship was great!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our room was spectacular! The beds and couch were very comfortable, and we even had extra storage space!

Ship tip

Make sure to bring along sunscreen, cash for tipping, and a positive attitude!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
No excursion, but great boarding experience!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Incredible port! We got to dive and meet some really friendly sharks and stingrays! Highly recommend getting to see the island, it’s people, and it’s animals!

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
Wow! The thrill and chill zip lining and paddle boarding here are amazing! Great staff, beautiful beaches, and awesome photos!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Incredibly rushed and crowded. Carnival did it’s best but disembarkation is usually very hectic! They did an amazing job, and we were already thinking about when our next cruise will be while getting off the boat!
