Review summary

We enjoyed our cruise. Everyone on the ship was friendly, helpful, and professional. We enjoyed the ports even though we didn’t choose to do a lot.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest, easiest embarkation of any of our 10 cruises. We walked right through, ate lunch on the Lido Deck, and our rooms were ready about 10 minutes early. Our luggage was in our rooms when we got there.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We were totally pleased with the main dining room and the buffets. The pizza place was fast and great. We were disappointed in the deli. Service was extremely slow—it didn’t seem worth the wait. We had the same problem on the Miracle in September. That being said, we had no problem finding great food fast!

The Carnival Deli

3 out of 5

We only went here once during our cruise because the line was almost always long and moved very slowly.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed sitting by the pool and on Serenity Deck. We enjoyed using the card room and the casino.

Entertainment

Card Room

4 out of 5

We enjoyed playing cards with friends in the card room. The only problem was the door would not stay closed. This was only a problem because of the large amount of traffic coming and going to activities in the Phantom Lounge. It got very noisy.

Children's Programs

We did not travel with children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiters and room stewards were great! We enjoyed getting to know them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Decor seemed dated. It was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was plenty big for the two of us. We enjoyed the balcony. It was clean when we arrived, and our stewards kept it clean.

Ship tip

Enjoy!

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida Did not visit port

Embarkation only.

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
We just walked around the shops. We enjoyed it, but really didn’t care about doing any of the excursions. We had been there previously.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the shops and beach. It was enjoyable without buying an excursion.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
We did the Xutananich Ruins excursion and enjoyed it.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
Cozumel was nice. We we didn’t book an excursion. We visited the shops. The vendors were very aggressive. We probably would have shopped longer had they not been so pushy.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
The disembarkation was organized and fairly quick. We carried our own luggage off and were in our car by 9:00 am.
