Review summary

Cruise was a great time as were the ports we stopped in. My only complaint is that when you get off on Half Moon Cay, we couldn’t use our drink package and had to pay out of pocket or from our cruise account. It makes 0 sense that you can use your card on file to pay, but not your drink package. It’s pure greed on carnival’s part. Staff were absolutely amazing, kind and attentive. Our steward, Oswald always greeted us by name and did an incredible job. Our dining room staff, Jose, Jhon and Mark were always smiling and never let our drinks run out. Also, Moyo from the buffet area was exceptionally kind and greeted my husband and I the entire trip. We loved them all!

Our steward, Oswald was attentive and was so friendly. He did an excellent job of taking care of us. Jose, Jhon and Mark were our waiters in the main dining room. They were all fantastic, exceptionally friendly and the service was 15/10.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was nice. Hated that the king size bed was two twin mattresses pushed together because it was uncomfortable

Nice port, no shade though. Locals asked if we wanted to buy “party favors” multiple times.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5

Beautiful and well maintained. Annoyed that carnival owns the island but you can’t utilize your drink package there even though it’s literally staffed by the ship crew at the bar.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

If you don’t do an excursion or create your own excursion there is nothing to do except shop or drink at Senor Frogs

I didn’t like my experience on this ship

Awesome Cruise, but the ship rocked most of the trip.

Nice cruise but security is rude when something happens to your child because the ship is falling apart
