Review summary

Would definitely take this cruise again, maybe next time it won't rain, not carnival fault lol

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Process very smooth however, I personally disagree with testing my 3 yr old on Sunday morning, when we got off work to take a test on Friday night to take her to Dr. Then we left Saturday to drive so how were we to test again? And whom was she going to see in the back of our car.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Love love love the food, and the servers always top notch. And for new cruisers try something new, and order your favorite on same meal. It is not a problem. When else might you get to try froglegs

Cucina Del Capitano

4 out of 5

The lunch was very good only to say only slightly under seasoned for my taste but still really good

RedFrog Pub

5 out of 5

It is not the dining which has the best food++++ Still I enjoyed everything I put on my plate except for " biscuits for biscuits and gravy were hard and the cakes icing had a bit more of straight butter taste than I would like

Pizzeria del Capitano

5 out of 5

24 hour pizza hey best thing on the water

Northern Lights and Southern Lights Dining Rooms

1 out of 5

All food places deserve their own review. The BBQ in a most awkward place and less than the hype by far. There was not enough seating which made you you want to take it to the main dinning area on another floor

Onboard Activities

I would give it 5 but they double charged me for deal or no deal and it took 3 days to get refunded

If anyone ever gets lucky enough to get GEORGE as your room steward the stars have shined bright for you. In all our cruises he is the best from top to bottom, friendly, helpful, and we could go on and on

Ship tip

Cruise director did not disappoint, but just remember, the more fun you put in the more fun you will get out.

Grand Turk Island

Food not very good, lots of coral ripping your feet apart unless you bring HD water shoes. I will admit the beer was good

To invest further into grand Turk...the island itself has always been awesome. Stating the excursion that we took had was not very good comparison for the $$$ that we paid. The all inclusive lunch included chicken with spice warm pasta salad, Cole slaw and rice. My daughter wanted fries but of course they wanted more money for that. I would have gladly paid however I did not have cash on me and they don't take visa.

U need to do more research before booking. Grand turks always get 10 stars. Excellent food. All over the island. Jacks shack for a example. As far as your feet buy water shoes. Wow. Enjoy the next time. ...
