Review summary

I enjoyed the cruise. Since it was my second cruise on Carnival I tried to do things that I did not get to experience on the first one that way I was not bored and things did not appear so repetitive. Will I sail Carnival again.....yes. However i think i would like to experience something different before going back.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation was super smooth. We had a check in time of 12:30 but we got to the port early and we were on the ship by 12 pm.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food in the main dining room was good also tried the Lido once and the food was good as well. Had lunch in the Italian restaurant twice and this was good Lunch at the Pig and Anchor was good as well Lunch at the Mongolian Wok was good but too salty Dinner at the Steakhouse was the best meal I had for the entire cruise.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I did the water slide and enjoyed it.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Did not go the the stage shows because it appeared to be a repeat of what I saw on the Conquest last year. What little I saw or heard from the DJ was good The Comedy show was awesome. They had 4 comedians and 3 of them were awesome. I saw them more than once and it was a different show each time.

Children's Programs

Did not travel with a child.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Most staff were pleasant but some seemed to be overworked.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship layout is not much different from other ships. Liked the decor but prefer the decor on the Conquest. The general areas were generally clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was cleaned daily in a timely manner. Room was comfortable enough for 3 persons. We had a deluxe room that had an extra bathtub and wash sink.

Work around the port and up to the bar on the hilltop. Service and the drink was great.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
We did a tour of the island. We paid $25 each and we made several stops overlooking the bay and the cruise ships in port. The final stop Mountain Top.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Great port. We visited the Forts and the Umbrella Street.

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
This was my least favourite port. We drove around the island for little over an hour but there was not much to see. Shopping in the port itself was good.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation was much quicker and faster than I expected.
