Review summary

Had fun with friends, enjoyed the itinerary. Would probably pick a different ship next time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth, a few lines but nothing unexpected. Got right onto the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet was average, could use more choices. Blue iguana, Guy's burger great just wish they were open later as a dinner option. Pizza is always good but the girl working there several days really didn't seem to want to be there. Disappointed in the deli, was ok bit not great. Main dining room food was ok. Steakhouse was worth the extra money. Best mashed potatoes I've ever had.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I feel like there were less scheduled activities then there used to be. What they had was fun, just feel like there could be more.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
This is a hard one, it felt like they were way understaffed and it showed. This cruise was sold out.. so maybe that was part of it. Dining room was extremely slow at dinner. The staff was truly sweet and trying their best, perhaps they need additional training and definitely more people. Girl working the pizza place was just unhappy. Our cabin steward was great, greeted us by name in the halls.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Probably my least favorite carnival design. It was a pain having to go to the mid or forward elevators to get somewhere on decks 3 and 4. Again back to staffing, buffet and some other areas seemed to be lacking the people to keep tables clean. One friend had lots of dust in the cabin. Perhaps the ventilation system needs an upgrade.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good size, nice that they added the USB ports on the bedside lamps! Really helped out charging devises! 3 adult women in the cabin but we made it woek. Storage was good. Cabin steward did a great job keeping it clean for us.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Did 2 nights prior to cruise. Highly recommend Dr. Gumbo food tour. Great food, amazing guide gave lots of history.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

2 out of 5
Dunns river falls was amazing but for me a one time thing. The bus ride there and back was very long and the drivers are crazy!! Be aware when you leave rhe falls the shop people are very aggressive and you have to walk by them to get back to the bus.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Loved it!! Did the land and sea and totally enjoyed it. For my first visit it was a great way to get a taste of what they offer. Will be back! Water was amazing.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Had a great time. Went to a beachclub near the port Del Mar Latino. Great experience, good food and drink, small adult only property.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and efficient, pre-booked the bus to the airport. Many had issues getting an Uber or lift so glad I took the bus.
