Review summary

Vacation is vacation. Enjoy your time. But over my several cruises the folks on ships leading the activities make the cruise. “Cruise director Cookie is great, we sailed on the Magic with him last April, but the other entertainment staff need more work. Hopefully they will get there

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy to get on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining staff great, food was ok. Buffet food average at best. Plenty to eat just nothing special.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Did a massage in Spa 9. Very repetitive on the ships activities. Something for everyone to do but just ok

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Stage shows not as good as previous Carnival Cruises. Shows were not filled. Plenty of open seats. DJ’s were young, experience will come with them.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Probably the best part of the ship. Waiters, Bar tenders and room stewards were excellent

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Cleanliness was above average but the ship layout leaves something to be desired. The ship is taken over by specialty dining which kills entertainment and other venues

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ship tip

Be patient

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

2 out of 5
Worst of the three ports. Very disorganized. We did an all inclusive day resort. Resort was nice but small beach area. Worst part of Jamaica is the port itself. Too small and Jamaica looses tons of revenue because of the chaos.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Best of the 3 ports. We did jet skiing excursion going to sting ray island and starfish reef. Jet skis were about 3 hours worth of riding and two stops.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Have been here several times. Just shopped and ate lunch and enjoyed libations. Nice day

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Stayed at Holiday Inn the night before. Went out and walked the city and had dinner.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easier than getting in the ship. This port has face recognition through customs. Looked at a screen and was done. Left the ship at 7:30, outside at 8:00.
