Review summary

We really thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. This was our 2nd cruise. See the comedy shows and the 70's rock and roll show they are both GREAT! Enjoy the good food and desserts. We mostly ate in the dining room ("anytime dining" was good and we did not wait too long to get seated). The buffet on the lido deck was ALWAYS packed and so we did not really eat there although that is an option. Pool is small and outdoors so we did not use it as it was way too cold in December. There are two hot tubs in the adults only area (aft of the ship, deck 9 maybe?) which were nice with a nearby bar. We enjoyed that once. In Ensenada there is a Zipline and ropes bridge course that is so fun. ('LaCanopy"?) It is a bit far from the ship. You can get there by taxi or Uber I understand. We used a company called "Ensenadatourguide.com" and booked it online and we LOVED it. They pick you up and take you there and wait for you and then take you somewhere else, etc... I highly recommend this company as it is affordable and the guide Fernando was AWESOME and spoke English and was very helpful and accommodating. (see Trip Advisor for advice on things to do in Ensenada). I really liked this cruise and the ship was nice and clean and staff was helpful. I was a little uncertain about Carnival because I know it is 'entry level" but we were very happy! Affordable little get-away!!!

Ship tip

See the 70's rock show and see the comedians! Food is good; drinks are expensive. Bring an outlet adapter with multiple ports there is only one outlet in the cabin. Go to zipline course in Ensenada!!
