Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was awesome and the layout was amazing! It was so spread out that you could sneak off and have privacy without having a huge group of people all around if that’s what you wanted. At the same time you could go to another area of the ship and party until your heart was content or watch a Comedy show or movie. The choices were abundant!

Cabin / Stateroom

Our room was very clean, smelled good & the beds were so comfy I wanted to take one home with me! LOL!

Ship tip

The only tip I could give to someone that has not cruise on Carnival is to just do it! You will not regret!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
We did not do an excursion in Galveston as this was for sailed away from.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Jamaica was definitely culture shock, but very beautiful! We learned a lot and had so much fun!

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We did an excursion of the highlights of Grand Cayman and then went to the 7 mile Beach which is absolutely stunning! I would highly recommend going to the 7 mile

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We went to passion Island here and it was also equally stunning. Super relaxing and enjoyable! I would highly recommend passion Island as well.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was very smooth, but quit long! It took us approximately three hours to get off of this ship. It was also sad at the same time, because we were not ready to get off LOL!
