In short- Only book on the cruise line's site for the actual cruise, because they will have the correct information about amenities, etc. Don't book excursions through the cruise line.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Our onboarding was Priority, because we were in a suite, so it seemed very smooth
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Was able to find things to eat, even with my allergies. Wish room service menu was a little more diverse.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Go to the pools early or late, they are tiny and can get very overcrowded.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Most seemed like they were trying. Ice carving, karaoke, trivia...
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
As good as expected.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Seemed fine. Hardly had to wait for elevators.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Good amount of room for three adult women. Good sized balcony. Nice sized bathroom (even though the listing was inaccurate - that's why you should book through Carnival so you get the correct info).
Love Galveston. We spent some time after the cruise looking around at the shops on the Strand and nearby. The Witchery and Mike's Ice Cream were favorites.
Excellent excursion for snorkeling, through Splash Wave Tours. We got to do so much more than those who booked through Carnival. NEVER book through the cruiseline for excursions.
