Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We had a great vacation from the minute we boarded the ship. Is the ship perfect no and they're some things that could be upgraded. There is nothing for us to complain about. This ship is going in dry dock in the future to be spruced up.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was clean and the air conditioner worked good. There is only 2 things that need repairs a light switch and the door handle to the balcony needs fixed but everything still worked enough for us not to call maintenance!

Ship tip

This boat is going in dry dock in the next year to be re-vamped. We Had a Blast. This ship rocked and swayed more than I've ever been on out of 4 cruises. No one experienced motion sickness in our family. Overall we had a wonderful family vacation and I'm not trying to be negative but I will try a different carnival ship next year! Carnival Conquest was our 1st cruise there was no swaying on that ship.

Thumbs Up 6

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

2 out of 5

Went in the town in a taxi wasn't something that I want to do again. The people were nice and never felt threatened our taxi driver stayed right there with us the whole time! Amber Cove: is beautiful The negative is that there isn't but 2 places to eat and the one in the water park isn't that good and over priced.
