Really great first Covid-era cruise. Smaller ship, fewer passengers, removed some of the angst. Carnival's commitment to cleaning/sanitizing was very welcome.

Ship tip
RedFrog Pub was the best! Great music, Rueso & Titus are outstanding bartenders.
Did a walking tour - informative & got to see different parts of the city. A couple dicier areas in the city, but overall experience was good. Businessowners were glad to see the return of the cruise ships.
Cruise terminal is in a very industrial area, the bus ride to get to the excursions is a little long. Having said that, it was well worth it - swimming with the dolphins was one of the highlights of the trip!
Thanks for the review. It was very helpful. Sailing on this ship for the first time on Feb 6 and also have not sailed with Carnival since 2011 so I had a lot questions. Your review answered them especially about the cleanliness and food.
