For me the ship needs work and good maintenance and the night entertainment is just ok. I chose this ship because of the route and I loved every port so I don't regret it but I would not go again on the same ship.

Stage shows were more like a high school talent show. Some of the stand up comedians were funny (except JeROME). The live duo was very good though.

Ship Quality
1 out of 5
The ship is old and it shows, needs maintenance. My balcony was always dirty. Dirty water from upper floors would end up in my balcony. Floor 1 had a curtain as roof
Cabin / Stateroom

Ok size and bed was comfortable. Room was not clean, bed sheets and towels have been used a million times and it shows.
Ship tip
Go on this ship because the route is fun but avoid it if you are looking for an updated, clean ship.
Did the Stingray city tour through Carnival and LOVED it! I recommend you take the earliest tour. Ours was at 8am and there were few people and the rays were hungry so even more willing to approach us. It was enough time to enjoy the water, touch rays and get amazing pictures.
We did the Fun and Sun tour through Victor Bodden Tours and highly recommended. The bus was clean, driver professional and we got to see sloths, monkeys, birds and other animals (and touch/carry them), we got an island tour for pictures and then 2 hours at a beach resort called Bananarama that included wifi, beach chairs, bathroom and showers. All of that for $30 a person. For me it was a great value. Would do it again.
Booked Altun-Ha and river boat through Carnival. Way too expensive to just be hours on a tiny boat and then hours to get to the Mayan ruins. Didn’t like it and felt it was double the price it should have been. Not recommended.
Booked Xenses through the ship and LOVED it. Great family fun. It’s a park that plays with your senses and it’s not too big so you have enough time to do everything.
