Review summary

So far our favorite cruise to date. Mike Pack, the cruise director is phenomenal, the ship was clean, the staff were friendly, and our cabin steward "Su" was amazing. Aside from Grand Turk the ports were awesome!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were shocked how fast we got on! Couldn't have been faster or easier!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The food was very good

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The events we went to were great, very professional! A few times there wasn't much on the schedule for us personally, which is when we relaxed instead so still a win.

Entertainment

All the entertainment was above and beyond

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff we encountered were pleasant and caring

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was great, the elevators... You already know. Just take the stairs!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our first balcony room and it was perfect! Had a great view at every port and during sea days!

Ship tip

The elevators don't get much better after the first day, perhaps Carnivals new fitness plan for passengers!

Ports of call

La Romana, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We did the Monkey Land excursion and had a blast, would definitely do it again! The stray dogs pull at the heart strings at this port.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Definitely not a favorite port for us, but we had a relaxing day at Jack's Shack

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
We rented a moped right outside the port and drove around all day exploring. Absolutely beautiful port and extremely safe to venture on your own. FYI: the lighthouse is $5 each to go up.

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Very nice port, safe to walk around even at night. The locals are friendly.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Like the embarkation, shockingly fast. Carnival has focused a lot on this and it shows.
