Review summary

Loved this itinerary and this ship! We could do it again soon if life didn't get in the way. Highly recommend Carnival! They have a lot of fun and make a nice experience for all ages!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Completely easy process. Had appointment wi die from 1-1:30pm. Checked bags at the curb and was on the ship within 30 minutes. Love it!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Evening "Your Time" Dining was very nice. Able to try things that we normally don't try or can't afford. Enough variety for picky eaters, too. Loved Blue Iguana for tacos and breakfast burritos! Guy's Burger Joint had wonderful choices!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Two water slides, sports court for basketball and volleyball, and putt putt were great for kids. There are Adults only pools and hot tubs on 9aft and 12fwd if you want a little kid free time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The musical shows were awesome! Certainly a highlight for my daughter. The singing, dancing, and staging were spectacular! Don't miss the shows while onboard. We also enjoyed several (8 were available) PG comedy shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff, from Cruise Director (loved Dustin) to housekeeping were so wonderful! No bad experiences.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was very easy to get around this ship especially from our room on 11th floor. Would prefer no smoking anywhere on ship but it is minimal and really only noticeable in Casino area (passed through on deck 5 quite a bit).

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
While it was small, our family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 teenagers - was very comfortable. Being on the Spa deck also meant that some of us (the boys) could use those bathrooms and showers after excursions when all of us needed them.

Ship tip

On deck 10aft, there is seating that not a lot of people use. It can be a quiet retreat to eat or play a card game. Don't skimp on pizza or ice cream offered 24 hours a day!!we

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We did Segway tour of South Beach before boarding ship. Great way to see a lot in a short time without much energy. We used and recommend Bike and Roll for the tour. B

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Beautiful beach day on Carnival's private beach. They bring buffet on island for all. Walk down the beach to escape the masses.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Nice shopping opportunity and beautiful topography. We did Tree Limin Zip Line tour. Loved the exciting time and breathtaking views.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
We walked around Old San Juan (port is in Old San Juan so walking is easy). Visited old forts and churches. Walked cool streets.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We did catamaran snorkel tour through Chukka tours. Decent experience with snorkeling but free rum punches made it much nicer.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy peasy. Tagged our bags Night before and left outside room. Got up, had breakfast, listened for luggage zone number to be called then off ship. Bags picked up and through Customs in about 30 minutes.
