Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very spacious, great balcony overlooking Havana pool. Havana is the way to go for private pool and bar area. Lido deck way too crowded.

Ship tip

We took an 8 day in March and a 6 day recently. Enjoyed the "crowd" more on the 8 day than the 6 day. This trip there was way more rudeness, tension for whatever reason. Great ship if the overall mode is right.

Ports of call

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5

Ocho Rios private tours. Marvyn's Paradise Tours Jamaica. Guide Dainton Hall. We booked a full day through them, went to Blue Hole, eat, sightseeing, shopping, whatever we wanted. Private with only us 3 plus our guide all day. Very safe, very fun. Was not booked through Carnival excursions and less expensive. Do not worry about getting back to the ship, they are very attentive to time. They pick you up directly from the port. Dainton was the absolute best guide and i would request him. HIGHLY RECOMMEND when in Ocho Rios. Cannot wait to go back!
