Review summary

First time on Carnival, crew does a great job but I didn’t care for the the constant ‘party’ atmosphere. A lot of people were smoking from balcony and by the pool so we could not get away from smoke smell or the smell of weed. ( I can’t stand those smells)

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Check in and security was really easy and fast but waiting to get on ship was long and very crowded.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was good overall but the drink choices were limited and everything had lots of sugar in it. Bar tenders couldn’t make my favorite drink at poolside, painkiller. I don’t like overly sweet drinks but that is all they had

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pool area was crowded and noisy all the time. Unless you got to the pool at 7am you could not find an open longe chair

Ship tip

Be patient. No one seems to understand the simple process of the elevators. Also be prepared for smoke to be everywhere and not just in the casino

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Had good time at amber Cove Beach club but drinks there tasted horrible and way to sweet for my taste

Oranjestad, Aruba

5 out of 5
Always love going to Aruba. They definitely put a lot of money into tourism. We did North 4x4 Jeep excursion and had a wonderful time.

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5

La Romana, Dominican Republic

Not much to do there and not much at the port
