Fun birthday cruise 🚢 a cruise is what you make it!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
It was good and going along great till they saw my negative antigen test. The dr. hand wrote and circled that I was negative. Nope. New rule you have to have the whole report printed out. It has to be printed out the results. But they let me on, so it was only a 10 minute delay. We were on the ship by noon.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
As you know, i have celiac disease, so I need gluten free food. The buffet does not have a lot of choices - very limited. I went to the omelette station and had eggs made for me and then had fruit for breakfast. Lunch was worse-salad and fruit. We had dinner in the MDR every night and they made me gluten free dinners. The dinner the first night was so good and then the rest of the time it was just ok. I’ve had better food on other carnival ships.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Trivia, trivia, trivia. I’m not into it at all. They have bingo, but I did not play this trip.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
They have comedy shows, they have regular shows at 7:30 and 9:30pm. We went to the shows. The 88 Keys show was my favorite. The have 4 different deck parties-sail away deck party, 80’s glow deck party, another regular deck party, and on the last night they have the white deck party. This ship has a separate disco place that they have dancing at at midnight.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Always great service. Edi our room steward was fantastic.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
This ship is 15 years old. I like the layout of it, but the atrium and public area decor is ugly. It’s a clean ship, just ugly.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Inside room was great. Plenty of closet space and we had a refrigerator too.
Ship tip
The internet was very sketchy and did not work for me, but did work for my friend. The chat feature in the app sometimes went out and did not work.
I love Aruba 🇦🇼 we shopped in the morning and I found the cutest jacket, magnet, T-shirt. Then we went to the beach, which was really, really windy. The water was cold there too, but the beautiful blue!!
