Review summary
Faster to the fun only helped with getting on the ship and off the ship at the start and end of the trip so if you have a late flight in or out it may not be worth it. One unfriendly-rude actually-customer service rep but all other ship staff were really nice. Food was ok, have had better on previous sails but I think Carnival has changed their menu overall. Wi-FI was a COMPLETE WASTE of money! Dinner staff was completely disorganized and extremely slow, so slow that we didnt make it out of our late dining (8:15) until after 10:30 almost every night! Steakhouse is amazing! Overall appearance of the ship and things to do were great! Housekeeping staff was friendly and did a wonderful job. Portraits werent as good as they have been in the past-we didnt get any this time. Grand Turk-watch out for stray dogs roaming the beach. We were afraid of flees, worms, etc. We shooed them away and they left us alone. Beach to left is better but you have to pay for first two rows of umbrellas. Beach to the right has a lot of rocks but was less crowded. Margarittaville pool was nice but hard to get a drink served to you-took so long we gave up on it, and its hard to get an umbrella around the pool unless you get there first. Puerto Rico-do an excursion because the shopping doesn't last long. Nice Walgreens when you get off the boat. Dominican Republic-If you're doing the waterfall/water slide excursion-You really should get the water shoes but Carnival will sell you a water shoe rental ticket on the ship for like 8 times what you will pay at the excursion site itself. Zip lining on St. Thomas-ziplines are not high and dont take a long time to do unless you get people in front of you that are scared-then youll be wishing it would go faster. Overall I would recommend this cruise because the ship and the ports were nice.

Ship tip
If you get on the ship late the first day good luck finding seating to eat-lie on all ships. Wi-Fi is a waste. Not trying to sound wasteful but if you like something-order as much as you want at dinner. You need to try the Steakhouse. Seating by the pool is hard on sea days. Pig and anchor is good.
Ports of call
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic
