Review summary

Nice cruise. Warm for the whole trip August… Good staff. Decent ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Parked at the port (NYC). Expensive, but easy. Definitely worth it to be Platinum Member. 20 minutes from parking to ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Lines longer than other ships, but by day 3 most people had things figured out. The quality and quantity of food were both good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Non smoking casino is a nice touch. Plenty of things to do all day, and this cruise had 4 sea days.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
In typical Carnival fashion, the singers and entertainment were high school quality at best. I don’t care, but it seemed to be a big deal to some people.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Camp Ocean was awesome for our 5 year old grandson. The activities were fun. He went several times and really enjoyed himself.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room stewards were great. Security had their hands full, but were very professional. Dinner staff was generally good. Two dinners were REALLY slow.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Our room was clean and the ship was generally clean and well taken care of.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Normal, low-end Balcony cabin. Nothing special, but plenty of room and nice balcony.

Ship tip

Wi Fi (premium) was horrible. Could barely check email. Purchase at your own risk.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
I really like Grand Turk. Beach right at the end of the pier. Shops… Very fun place.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

1 out of 5
Not my favorite. If I go there again, I will get an excursion.

New York, New York

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
VERY smooth, but we are Platinum members. Ship arrived at 7 am, and we were on the road by 8 am.
