Review summary

The media and the CDC made it unbearably uncomfortable to go on this cruise and bring a young child and feel like we were doing the right thing... Special thanks to Dream Vacations and Lori Foster for helping us to navigate the system and safety prerequisites! Our child would get sick more often at day care then if we spent a month on a cruise ship because of the extra safety protocols and procedures that carnival adheres too along with the mask wearing indoors. This made it a safe and fun environment and as a guy who has been on 21 cruises, I had a great time! It was certainly safer than the 2 days we spent at Disney post cruise! It's like the Wild Wild West over there!

Ship tip

Take advantage of the breakfast and lunch options and try them all! By far the best on the seas for free included options!

So glad you had fun. The media and government love to pick on the cruise industry. Sad, huh?
