Review summary

Jamaica,Grand Caymen and Cozumel. Was the longest cruise I have been on. The ports were great.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
They held up several hundred people because a group didn’t have all of their party together. Port is chaotic.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was inconsistent on Lido deck and Mdr However speciality dining was great. The steakhouse and the Italian restaurant were the bomb.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Trivia is always fun. Deal or no deal. The pools were always crowded but that’s what I get for going in June

Entertainment

3 out of 5
I have always been impressed by the level of musicians on board. However this cruise did not make that impression.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
The staff were not as friendly on this ship as others I have been on. There were quite a few issues. I put a bag of trash beside our trash can in our room ( it was full) they emptied the can and left the bag. SMH

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
The most condensation I have seen on any of the shops I have been on. This was my 4th cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Right behind the elevators. It’s smaller than normal. On 2 closets instead of the usual 3-4. The tv never worked correctly.

Ship tip

This ship had more condensation falling from the ceilings n almost every floor. The (smart) elevators are super slow

Ports of call

George Town, Grand Cayman

4 out of 5
Nice port. Clean bathrooms lots of shopping around the area and places to eat.

Miami, Florida

2 out of 5
Not my favorite port

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Had a blast. Although our excursion did not give us much time or place to eat. It was almost an all day thing.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
They wanted people to wait to go down an elevator who were taking their own luggage off the ship. They do the digital disembarkation however it took the longest to get off this ship

Next cruise, try a more Premier line like Princess, Holland America or Celebrity if you can afford it. There have been quite a few complaints about Carnival lately, especially the older ships.

Sorry this ship was a disappointment. Glad you had a great time in the ports.
