Review summary

The staff at Carnival were excellent.  They went above and beyond to ensure we were having a great time.  Absolutely loved our April and our waiter, Richard.  The people at Guest Services, however, were not very friendly or helpful. 

There was some bad weather that required the order of our ports to be flipped around, which may be why all of our excursions felt so disorganized.  I was disappointed with the amount of time we had to spend in Jamaica and Grand Cayman.  It really felt like we waited in line to get off the boat, waited in line to get to our excursion and three hours later we were waiting in line again to get back on the boat.  The staff at all of our excursions were excellent, especially Reuben in Mexico.  He was friendly, funny, and entertaining, he made cave experience!

Welcome to the world of cruising.  Thanks for posting your first review here on this Website.  I guess that we all wish that we had more time at our ports of call.  But I guess that feeling is better than wishing we could get off the island faster.  It just makes us want a return visit.  I hope that you have many more happy experience cruising in the future.
