Review summary

We had a nice vacation overall. We will cruise with Carnival again because of the awesome casino rates but will try a larger ship next time.

Embarkation

We only waited in a 20 minute line to get on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
There was always a large variety of food to pick from at all times of the day. However, quality has gone down since we took this cruise in February. The filet mignon on elegant night was tiny, flat, and had fake grill lines. The scrambled eggs tasted like powdered eggs and i stuck with over easy instead. The afternoon tea on sea days had the best desserts.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The evening shows were entertaining. My teen boys were a little bored but enjoyed the board game room. A lot of activities cost extra money. The pools were too crowded during the day but my kids went swimming in the evenings when it was empty.

All employees were extremely friendly and worked hard to keep the ship clean.

Ship Quality

The ship and my cabin were both very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
My cabin was very clean. It had a hair dryer, safe, fridge, shampoo, body wash, lots of storage, a couch. I could see the water from my window but not the sky.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Gorgeous port. It has a free pool and water slides. We paid a taxi driver at port to take us into town. The souvenirs are cheaper at port than in town.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Beautiful but we enjoyed half moon cay better. We rented a clamshell. It had a wooden board with a nail buried in the sand by my chair. I stepped on it and injured my foot. My husband stepped on a nail farther down the beach and it went through his flip flop. The buffet line took 30 minutes and the food was covered in flys. We ended up eating on the ship later again.

Baltimore, Maryland

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Our favorite stop. It has a free pool and beach for cruisers to use. We took a fun excursion from the ship with a tour of the island and feed donkeys at the end.
