Review summary

Loved the ship and would do this cruise again. Knowing what to expect at the ports would be more helpful for us as for as shops and just what to expect in general. It was a really good experience and we all had an awesome time!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Went smooth but started raining in Miami so everything was moved indoors

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good but felt like there were items that maybe we werent used to eating so wasn't sure about trying. Like they were trying to be fancy which was great but needed a few not so fancy dishes.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We went to every comedy show. Very funny! Also to the Love & Marriage show. Always good. Did some trivia but couldn't make it to all of them that we wanted to.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Comedians were very funny. Saw them all. Laughed nonstop!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
They always work so hard and make us feel welcome.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
2 of us in one cabin that joined to the connecting cabin with our 3 early 20's kids. That was so nice as we felt like it was a suite and gave us a lot more room. We also had them remove the balcony divider so it became larger.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Fastest we ever got on a ship

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Lots of shopping and pool was nice

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
Not as much shopping but had a beach & pool

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
Had food, drink provided by Carnival. Not much shopping. That could have been better. Needed more seating at the beach. We just had to grab some sand to sit our stuff on.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were off the ship in record time.

FYI, for next time. All cruises have a port & shopping learning show. It is always on the first sea day. It will be in the daily schedule and they usually announce it. Try attending that on your next cruise, you will get info on both shopping and the ports in general. Might be helpful to you if you have never been to the ports before.
