Review summary

We really enjoyed the cruise and look forward to the next!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Really smooth. Probably the best of all the cruises we have taken.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food overall was very good. For some reason the french fries and hash browns in the dining room were really greasy. I have a gluten issue so I have to eat gluten-free and the gluten-free bread on this ship was inedible. I would challenge Carnival to ask their executives to eat a sandwich or Guy's burger on their gluten-free bread. It was the worst gluten-free bread I have ever eaten. Again, overall the food was good!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We didn't do too much but we enjoyed what we did do..Skyride, mini-golf etc.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We were pretty lazy on this ship but the Polaris Trio was fantastic and very enjoyable to listen to.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the staff was outstanding

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This was our first time on a bigger ship with Carnival and we found it to be well laid-out and had no problem with the design.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We love this room because it has a great layout and a longer deck than usual.

Ship tip

Use the stairs if you are able. We heard some complaints about the "smart" elevators but we walked up and down the stairs when we could.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We are platinum members and could have disembarked with the platinum and diamond group but chose to leave later and it really went fairly smoothly as disembarkation can go. We had tickets for the airport transportation to FLL and it was chaos. Carnival needs to clean that part of the trip up.
