Embarkation

2 out of 5

DO not get the Carnival Transporation. We had to wait over 2 1/2 hours before it came and got us and we almost missed the boat!

The week we went was when the Skyride was down. My family and friends picked this particular boat to have this fun time. We never got a notification it would be down and all week. Such a disappointment!

We did the Reefs and Rays excursion. The snorkeling part was horrible. We kept getting yelled at by the guide and bunched up since we were so close to the reef. Kicked in the face, yelled at, could not see anything, and it was just awful. The other part when we saw the rays was pretty cool. They caught a Ray and let us all see it and give it a kiss.

Disembarkation

We had the early exit and the way they lined us all us was a disaster. We eventually got off the boat and got to the airport. The transportation was again awful as the guide begged for money and was so loud you could not think. I should have caught an Uber or Taxi instead!

Was on the same cruise and I think the AC was not working full time. Some places were cool but most were warmer than I the other ships that I have been on. Great cruise though.
