Review summary

Had a trip of a lifetime with my husband and three almost all adult sons and one sons girlfriend! Be careful of your sail and sign cards- some punks stole my 22 year olds card in the arcade and racked up $80 in charges- luckily Carnival reimbursed him after viewing the video cameras! You would think everyone is on an expensive vacation and wouldn’t try to take advantage of others, but thieves are EVERYWHERE!!!

Ship Quality

The layout is a little choppy but you get used to it- elevator system is great-takes five minutes to learn but will save you from stopping at every floor!

Cabin / Stateroom

Great size suite! Large bathroom with full tub- Large closet area and extended balcony! Very comfortable for me, my husband and two teenage boys! Room steward always kept it very clean!

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Great excursion to Dunn’s Rivers Falls but got scammed out of $40 for a downloaded video of our experience- The vendors outside of the park were very pushy as well

George Town, Grand Cayman

Had a great day but due to poor weather conditions, our excursion to Stingray City and snorkeling was cancelled. Salvaged the day by taking a private tour of the island which was enjoyable!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Great shopping and the vendors are not too pushy! Spent a Beach day at Carlos and Charlie’s and had an amazing day drinking, eating and swimming!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Good but once you are out of the terminal, it’s so crowded with everyone trying to find their transportation to the airport or home! Wish there was an easier way!
