Review summary

It was great to get back to cruising. We missed 3 years waiting for them to drop mandates. My teenagers loved it and were so excited to get back to it. We have three cruises booked for Carnival. I hope Carnival never does away with the dream class ships. The ships are our favorite. It felt like a completely normal cruise. It's exactly what we wanted!

We mostly ate on the lido deck and in the dining room. We did not eat at any specialty dining facilities.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Would like to do the games like trivia and bingo.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I didn't really enjoy all of the shows. Some of them were okay though.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff is always great and very friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Although it's getting older it is in really great shape. We have two more cruises planned on this ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was a balcony cabin so that part is nice. Like most cruise ship cabins they are small especially for four people.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5

We walked around the city. It was Thanksgiving Day when we ported so not a lot of things were open.
