Review summary

Carnival never disappoints me. Have 3 more cruises booked thru may 2023

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Process very smooth. I was having my first martini 🍸 by 11:15. The verifly app helped tremendously!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I spent most of my time at Lido marketplace, (was by myself), and had one entree that I did not care for..(turkey dressing). Everything else excellent, as always. Loved my caramel lattes from Java blue. Cucina del Capitano never disappoints for lunch, love the pasta bowls! Mornings at Blue Iguana Cantina, love the eggs Huevos Rancheros. Had way too much ice cream!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
For the first time utilized tread mill in spa 9. Had to try and work off some pounds!!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Spent quite a bit of time at Ocean Plaza playing trivia games and listening to singing. Always enjoy the Military appreciation gathering in the foward lounge. Really had a great cruise director on this sailing (Donkey)! Made everything quite enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
A special shout out to Frederick on deck 9 for taking care of my room and needs. The number one person at Lobby Bar is Mr B! A.k.a. Apples

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything spotless. Staff always cleaning. Do not remember gals name who was always cleaning around Java Blue, she is a little sweetheart, so polite and friendly.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
First cabin bad location, 9309 too much noise from above….(should know better). 2nd week was 9337, much better on sleep!

Ship tip

Summertime not the best time for relaxing. Too many kids!! First summer cruise for myself and way too many kids running around hallways at night making a bunch of unnecessary noise! Parental skills have declined in recent years….my humble opinion.

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica
