Review summary

Cruise was not bad. There was just a few things that stood out to us due to us being on other ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Good

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was just as good on the buffet as the dining room. We did the dining room 2 nights had small kids with us so it was easier to do the buffet and we did not feel like we was missing anything by eating at the buffet.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We had a 6, 7, 9, 12, 13 year old with us and the kids did not like the kids clubs. The 6 year old said it was too much like school. They did love the Dr Seuss area to play at and the hot tubs and pools.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We only got to do one comedy show due to having smaller children and they did not like going to kids club.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
We had 6, 7, 9, 12,13 year old they hated the kids club said it was too much like school.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
This made our fifth cruise and it wasn't bad but we felt that some of the staff wasn't as friendly on this boat as others we had been on.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
We thought it took too long to have stuff picked up as people sit stuff outside their door. this made our fifth cruise and on other Carnival ships it seemed like as soon as it got set outside it was gone.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We really liked our cabin it had plenty of storage and room. We have three kids two adults and we didn't feel crowded. We really enjoyed the Family Harbor Lounge much easier to feed the kids and get ice cream when they wanted it. Staff was very friendly with the kids.

Ship tip

On amazon we found some magnet hooks that really worked well when the brought in the cards to hang them on so they would not have to look for them all time. There is lots of storage but we still used the pocket organizer on the door to store stuff in so the sinks would not be cluttered.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We done the Dune Buggy excursion it was very good.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
We did the beginners snorkeling. We had kids doing this with us and we think it should have been more than one person doing it since there where so many in the group. The snorkeling gear seamed cheap and wore out.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
We done the Dolphin interaction. We loved it.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
We done the Jeep tour. The Jeeps where not marked that it was a tour going on so we had people cutting in front of all the Jeeps. Hard to keep up with each other. There was three other cruise ships in the ports when we was there. Beach area we went to was very dirty we see why people pay to go to the beach there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Good got off pretty fast
