Review summary

We sailed with my daughter and her boyfriend and two single female friends. We had such a great time, We all had spa rooms which worked out well since we enjoy the gym (right down the hall from us!) and the saunas, thalassotherapy pool, and other amenities. The food was delicious, people were fun, ports were all fun, weather was fabulous!

Fun boat cruise and snorkling.

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Awful....not the fault of Carnival. Evidently, the homeland security and customs area were short staffed. There were other ships disembarking as well so things got backed up and there were major delays. Luckily our flight out back home was later in the afternoon. I'm sure there were people that missed their flights if they were scheduled earlier.
