Review summary

This was our very first cruise. We were there to celebrate our 25th Anniversary and had a blast. We can’t wait to cruise again especially with Carnival.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Wonderful, everyone was so nice and welcoming.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Nice, especially loved the Chef’s table and steakhouse.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We spent the majority of our time in the adult only area at the rear of the ship, great area and good staff.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Absolutely wonderful! We attended all of the shows in the main theater and the cast blew us away. Attended the comedy show each night and can’t say enough about how they had us falling out of our seats laughing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was great. We spent the majority of our shopping experience discussing things with Andrew, not only is he a bonafide expert in his field he is also a great person as well. Very down to earth and easy to talk to, actually miss seeing him every day. Our cruise director Gabe kept ours on our toes daily, from his warm and welcoming personality to his upbeat attitude he always had a smile on his face. In the shopping area we had Krutika who was a pleasure to work with, she met us with a smile and a professionalism that made us feel at ease the moment we met her. Finally this brings us to our room steward Jariya, she made our trip both comfortable and exciting. We were greeted daily by her cute little towel animals and her cute personality. It was amazing with that many rooms to take care of she remembered our first names whenever she saw us, you have a treasure on your hands with her.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and the layout was easy to get used to

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size actually shocked us, wasn’t expecting it to be as large as it was. It was extremely comfortable and was kept exceptionally clean and takes care of.

Ship tip

I would like to see at least a portion of the buffet open all day. I preferred some of the offerings to the burger restaurant.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

5 out of 5
Easy to get in and out of.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Had a wonderful time, got back from our snorkeling trip a little late and the ferry had to wait but all and all it was beautiful.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
What more can I say but Wow. GT is absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful time jaunting around the island in the little hummers and the guides were both knowledgeable and hilarious. This is also where the knowledge we learned from Andrew came in, since this is where we did all our shopping.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
This was by far the best excursion of the trip. Not only did we swim and play with the dolphins, but to actually hold and swim with a shark had to be the single most thrilling experience we could have ever imagined.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and orderly.

Thanks for sharing! Welcome to the carnival family! Could you provide more insights on the food? You gave great reviews but only 2 stars. We have been on the legend before and leaving again in December. But any more opinions would be great to read.

Happy 25th Anniversary!🥳 I am glad you enjoyed your first cruise. Be careful though as it can be very addictive and the only known treatment is to book another cruise. Thank you for taking the time to share your review. 😎🚢☀️🩴🏝🪸🐠🌺
