Review summary

This was my very first cruise and it was both exciting and terrifying. The beds were uncomfortable and hard as rocks. The room was comfortable for two people and the bathroom was neat. My friend ended up getting food poisoning and missing the day at sea because he was puking and had diarrhea. I would go on another cruise, but on a different cruise ship.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I enjoyed the hot-tub in the adult only part of the ship. The sun chairs were pretty awesome but a lot of them just had towels on them but no one anywhere near using them.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
I never had to use them, so I am indifferent.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The public restrooms were dirty and there were towels everywhere. There was food in the halls for hours on end.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The size was good but I asked for the beds to be split, only to show up and has it as one bed. I asked to have it split, but they never showed up so we split it ourselves.

Ship tip

Be careful what you eat.

It was super sketchy. The shuttle drivers were talking shit about Carnival and how they overcharge for their excursions. They then tried to sell the same excursions for cheaper.

Looking back at it would you have tried bringing a bed pad? I've only done 1 cruise but felt the same way about the beds, painful by 3rd morning!
