Review summary

Congratulations Carnival for running such an impressive operation. Any hiccups were due to weather or less than pleasant guests on the ship. Your team deserves an A+ rating and I will cruise with Carnival again - even though I am over fifty with no kids. Really a nice job.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy. I didn’t arrive till approx 2:30pm, and I just walked right thru security without waiting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good. Main dining room delivers smaller portions so you can feel free to try more than one dish if you like.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I thought our cruise director did a great job and was pretty funny. I love that there are activities for all ages.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I would give a 5 to the musicians throughout the ship and a 3 to the main stage performers. Can’t overstate how fabulous were the musicians!

Children's Programs

No jids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Impeccable service: unfailingly polite, helpful, pleasant, professional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Staff were constantly vigilant. Very impressive.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Lovely; perfect. Plenty of room. Comfortable temperatures.

Ship tip

Ensure you have power plug extension cord because you only have one outlet.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Spent the day at the beach, 4hour unlimited beverages. Perfect. Too crowded and “herded” when first off the ship.

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
Once we left the port area, were hounded by peddlers. Didn’t like that. Very poor. But the Pedal Pub team were fabulous, as were some of the artists displaying their wares.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

3 out of 5
Was challenging due to rain, a real cluster getting us out to the catamaran. Captain Roger and the catamaran itself, though, were great.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Efficient and smooth. All the staff and employees and porters were great.

No age restrictions on Carnival. My 83-year old Mother and her 90-year old 'boyfriend' cruise on Carnival at least once per year.
