Review summary

The staff and crew were outstanding and felt like friends and family. They meet you once and call you by name the rest of the week. The food was good but not outstanding. There could have been more gluten free offerings. The gluten free burger rolls, bread, pizza crust was a zero out of 10 with your average restaurant gf buns being a  8 out of 10. These were inedible.   Everything else was nice. It was hard to get a hot tub without loads of people but I guess that's expected on a family cruise. Overall it was a nice experience and Carnival does a great job.

We went to muhahaul beach and stayed at a restaurant for the day. They were very accommodating. The weather was windy and there was tons of sea grass.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

We did an independent excursion and it was perfect. This was the most memorable vacation day ever.

Cozumel, Mexico

It was rainy and we were tired so we didn't go far. We walked out of Port to nearby shops. The vendors were super aggressive and it was a bit uncomfortable at times. I'm sure a day at the beach would be lovely in Cozumel.
