Review summary

Cruise was good. It was crowded in the buffet but not in the main dining room. Staff and passengers were friendly. I don’t like how non-alcoholic drinks are no longer included in the cruise package.

Ship tip

When you first get on the ship, the buffet will be extremely full since no cabin were ready. Scan for eating away from the buffet or one level higher.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
It was just very hot with no seating and long waits outside.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Shopping a short distance from port. We did swimming with the pig and snorkeling excursion. It was really fun an the highlight of this port.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Since this is Carnival private island, Carnival had a bbq buffet set up. There was also entertainment, shopping, bathrooms, and showers.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
No need fur is to do excursions. There was shopping, food, entertainment, and the beach walking distance from the ship.
