This being our 13th cruise with Carnival I don't think we will cruise Carnival again.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Since we are Platinum on Carnaval check in was very quick.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
The food in the main dining room was below par. Beef was over cooked and tough. The appetizers were the best part of the dining room. The specialty dining options had the best food. Excellent meal in the Steakhouse, sushi very good and the seafood shack excellent.

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
all of the staff we encountered were friendly and service very good
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
layout is normal Carnival and ship was kept clean
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
overall the cabin was comfortable and since Carnival only has once a day service it was clean but that is it
Ship tip
enjoy that it is not an extra large ship just the right size.
we have been there before and so rented a golf cart. They gave us a map and it was terrible. wanted a nice beach to snorkel at one that had calm water had no one there and the one beach we found with people the water was very rough. Overall Grand Turk is a nice small island.
We had reserved a gold cart online and they did not have one for us. They offered a broken one in place. The free shuttle only takes you to locations that are part of the resort. We neve got to see non resort part of the island.
The destinations might not have been the best and the sea was rough due to weather lately. But sorry this cruise did not live up to what you have come to expect on Carnival.
I noticed a trend when the whale tail had her second accident. It's trend to hate on it when there is a lot of video footage showing the food and everything the ship offers.
