Review summary

This was a relaxing cruise since 2 of our 3 ports were beach days. Wonderful time away from home.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very very quick and smooth. We were on an hour before our designated time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

We have done 3 cruises and have never enjoyed carnival’s food. No danger of gaining weight for us.

Service and Staff

No problems at all. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship definitely had wear and tear. Some of the hallways had a sewer smell but did not affect our cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was very comfortable and roomy enough. Loved our balcony. We were midship. Awesome views.

Ship tip

This ship has the same layout as the Vista which was our first ship and still our favorite.

A lot like Cozumel. Same vibe. We did monkey land which opened 5 months ago. Our favorite excursion to date.
