For our 1st cruise it was awesome and we will cruise again.
Embarkation

This was our 1st cruise. The embarkation was so easy. We did have FTTF so we were able to get on the ship fairly quickly.
Ship experiences

The MDR was awesome. Our wait staff were Ari, Joyti and Choden. We pretty much had them to ourselves since a lot of their section didn't show up most nights. They asked me and my daughter to dance with them every night and sang happy birthday to her. We couldn't have had a better experience.
The Carnival Deli
5 out of 5
The deli was my favorite other than the MDR. Their turkey avocado sandwich was awesome.
Seafood Shack

It was actually the Seafood Shack and it was my daughter's along with the sushi place.

I loved Cassidy. Even though they have an adult time listed she allowed kids to stay because she said, she has a very family friendly show and she didn't want the kids to leave if they were enjoying her show.

Always lots to do. The movies were great as was the entertainment in the Colors Lobby.

My teen joined Club 02 but didn't stay much. She's an extreme introvert so was nervous with new people. They did have so cool activities.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room room steward was Alex and he took very good care of us.
We did Chakanaab park where we swam with a dolphin and her baby. We did a kiss, handshake, bly rub and push on a boogie board. We also got to pet a manatee. We then snorkled. We bought the package that included the pics.
We did an excursion through Shore Excursioneers it included Stingray city, snorkeling at Coral Garden, Starfish point and the turtle center. The tour company took pics of us at Stingray City then we paid $40 to have them emailed to us. The pics were well worth the price. Snorkeling at Coral Gardens was awesome and Starfish point was cool. The turtle center was just okay. The tour price did not include swimming in the lagoon with the turtles so I upgraded our tickets but was disappointed that there were only a few turtles to swim with
We did the Jamaican bobsled, canopy tour and Dunn's River falls through Carnival. It was awesome and we had so much fun learning about Jamaica from our tour guide. We were 20 minutes late getting back but the ship.was waiting and waited 30 more minutes for other tour groups to get back.
