Review summary

The Cruise was good enough. The director Andy was great but the playlists shows sucked. The events hosted around the ship was great, the dinners were off and on, the red frog on the 5th floor is a gem, and the drinks were not as strong as they usually would be on a carnival cruise.

Best that it can be for a basic interior stateroom

Ship tip

If Andy is still the director he’ll make it a great experience. Other than that. The first night of dinner is the best. You can miss some of the others you’d like. The pools are an smaller so they are always packed. The playlist shows can definitely be missed. Enjoy the lido deck activities. The red frog pub on the 5th floor is a gem.

Ports of call

Get there late for embarkation, it goes by faster.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Forget the excursions just explore on your own. The island is only 6 miles

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

My husband and I have been to Grand Turk and took excursions through the ships. The last time I was there was in 2018 on the Carnival Sunshine. We always have a good cruise.

Thanks for your review and glad you enjoyed your cruise. Execution of the playlist shows will make or break them. Hopefully the next you see are better. Happy Sails 🛳🏝

Red Frog Pub is great, we went every night. The Glitter Kitties were the best.
