Port Canaveral was easy to board the boat & fast. No problems
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Pizza buffet was continuously busy making pizza, its a 5 minute wait in a line of people at 12 am. Main dining area was good, our servers never spoke to us which I felt was rude. Other cruises they've always interacted and knew our names, danced with us and had fun. The prime steak house is $35.00 pp but was so worth it. Food was a 10 & waitresses were personal.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Comedy shows were above average, art auction was good but not worth my time. End of cruise celebration was short & left me saying is that it. Pools were always crowded but that's to be expected. Adult entertainment was great and funny laughed a lot. Spa foot massage & pedicure was wonderful just watch because they added a tip after I paid the lady in cash already for her tip.

Service and Staff

Room steward Jerry was awesome. Made cute little towel animals. Kept our room clean & tidy. Everyone we passed in the halls or on the decks spoke to us and had conversations except waiters in the southern lights 2nd floor area.
Ship Quality

It as pretty much the same lay out as most. Everything was always clean. On deck 6 in the aft, the halls and rooms smelled of sewage all the time we were there. We got used to it and told our steward.

Ship tip
Make sure to always check your receipts,tips are added even though you may pay before you sail. If you are traveling with other people other than whose in your stateroom make sure dining is booked together and same time. You will be split up.
Took a trolley to the crazy lobster a great beach front resort free drink & music. Get a 10 oz lobster lunch for $20.00. Lots of shopping for much cheaper than at port. Lots of vendors coming up to you on the beach trying to sell their products.
Went with Bodden tours, couldn't have been happier & much cheaper than a carnival excursion. $30.00 pp to have your own private tour guy all day. If you want to see the monkey & sloths it's an extra $5.00. Anything else you may want to do will cost extra. Went to the chocolate factory and did a tour but didn't cost except for a donation. Free samples. Then went to Argentina beach and restaurant, nice place, good food, good drinks. Lots of vendors coming up to you but our tour guide would tell them to leave. He was our bodyguard for the day too. Kenton was a tour guide st first but became family as he took amazing care of us.
You have to take a tendor to Belize City about a 15 minute ride free. Did the swimming with Sharks & Stingray excursions from Carnival. A bit pricey but at this port you want to make sure you make it back on time. There is a 2 hour difference. Had a great time swimming with the sharks and stingrays no danger just lots of people in your way. We swam about 45 minutes then went to Caye Caulker island and had lunch. I had the nachos and a coke reasonably priced & yummy. You dont have to order anything, it's not included in the price of excursions. Then we left and went to another spot and fed the tarpon. Fun as well. It take about 45 minutes to get to the sharks and stingrays but it doesn't seem that long when the captain and others interact with you. An hour on Caye caulker island. 5.5 hours or less whole excursions with 2 hours to go shopping when you get back. Get time!
Went to Mr. Sanchos beach resort. $55.00 all inclusive not to bad. Food, drinks, massages, beach chairs, hammocks, shopping, inflatables for kids. I chose the free side of Mr. Sanchos and got loungers, swam in the little pool, swam in the ocean be careful got stung by jellyfish. Lots of snorkeling. Beautiful water & clear, wished I could have stayed in the water longer but to many jellyfish. Took a taxi for 17.00 there and another 17.00 back. The drinks on the free side of Mr. Sanchos are 8.50 per drink so it's better to do all inclusive.
