Review summary

Sure was a great time getting away and relaxing. Cruising is one of the best way to enjoy a vacation regardless of age. Will look into Carnival Cruise line on our next cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super smooth and there were many courteous helpers.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Hot and cold food when it should be. Plenty of selection and very tasty. Late night selection wasn't what we were expecting. Thought for sure we could get deli sandwich's until 2am.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools were busy as were the hot tubs. Not enough of them. Too often pool attendants looked the other way when guests would bring into pool, glass drink holders. I did like the putt putt golf. Also, played a couple trivia games that are always fun!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed all the Liquid Lounge shows including the comedians. The variety of entertainment was great. String instruments and classic rock band were very good.

Children's Programs

Didn't have children so I can't evaluate them.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every place on the ship where we interacted with staff they were kind and courteous. Knowledgeable with outgoing personalities.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
For the most part the layout was really much like other ships. There should be more pools! Though it seemed a bit difficult to find restrooms. The elevator system was hard to get used to. There should be more pools! The ship cleanliness was outstanding. There should be more pools!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was as expected and very similar to other ships balcony rooms we have had in the past. The doorway to the balcony was new and an improvement over the sliding doors.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

2 out of 5
Though we didn't do any excursions we used port parking and it was way too much money for 6 days of parking. This rate was the highest I have ever paid in any parking lot in the USA that I have used. If you have any influence to this pricing please get it reduced. $22.00 per day is robbery. Hotels are so costly we stay well away from Miami. Wish there were more affordable places so we could experience Miami in the future.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Always have a good time in Ocho Rios. Love the beach close by the port and when we visit there we are always pleased.

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
I like this port but we hate having to shuttle over. Plenty of shopping and good places to eat. Was very pleased with the operation of the ferry shuttles. No excursion this time.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel is always a good stop. Plenty of shopping and good places to eat. No excursion this time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
A bit chaotic on the ship but once we were given the okay to depart it was seamless, smooth.
