Money well spent! I would recommend this ship for your cruise of the Caribbean! The crew and staff are friendly and helpful. The food was well prepared, presented and served. There is something for everyone on this ship. Bravo and Kudos!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
There was plenty of food with a large variety for all. No matter when you were hungry there was food, good food, available! I really enjoyed the buffets. I had burgers from Guys, Shrimp from the seafood shack and dinner in the platinum. Very good!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Although I didn’t participate in many activities I observed many people enjoying what the ship offered and I heard no complaints.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I went to two comedy shows which made me chuckle! But I found the casino performers the best especially Chuck; a virtual master of the guitar (shades of Glen Campbell) and J.D. who could play and sing any music genre! Bravo to these two assets!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiter in the platinum restaurant was Dennis and he was courteous, personable, intelligent and had a great sense of humor! His service was impeccable! Our dessert girl, Katerina, was also courteous and personable! These two individuals deserve many Kudos and should be recognized!! Our room steward, Tanisha(?) was great with a fine eye for details. Our room was spotless!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship was being constantly cleaned by a friendly staff. Although the ship was big and sometimes overwhelming the diagrams at the elevators helped! The only problem we had was trying to tell fore from aft when not looking at the sea. On Norwegian they have a pattern of fish swimming on the carpeting which gave the direction of the bow which was very helpful (hint, hint)!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was spacious, clean and the perfect size for my wife and I. The single complaint I had, although I didn’t voice it to anyone, was that the air conditioning was inadequate! The room always felt too warm and the airflow through the ceiling vent was minimal. Other than that it was perfect!

Ship tip

Be prepared to have a great time with plenty to do and eat. There is so much going on it’s virtually impossible to enjoy it all. So pick out what interests you most and get the most out of it!!!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
We arrived the day before and partied at the Hard Rock and Bubba Gumps and the rooftop bar at the Langford hotel. We did not go on an excursion.

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
Our excursion was canceled due to choppy seas so we went on a sightseeing tour that ended up in Hell! Not as pretty as Roatan, Honduras!

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
This was a very beautiful bay. We went swimming with the porpoises and had a great time!

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
No excursion but plenty of souvenirs and beer!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Beautiful port, beautiful Island. We went to see the Mayan Ruins and learned a lot about these remarkable people and culture!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
The ship had its act together but the customs folks are on their own time zones! The longest lines of the entire cruise but again, out of Carnivals hands.
