Review summary

The cruise itself was great. I get a little vertigo from looking over the rail at 5 stories up. So I hold the rail tight. (Sadly, the next cruise, someone fell off the ship.)

Thanks for the review. It’s always important to read the information provided in emails and on the website regarding requirements to board. The information regarding Covid testing is on the Carnival website and boarding information sent to everyone booked.
