Great itinerary even though hurricane Rafael cancelled Grand Cayman (thank you for keeping us safe). The Captain was very personable, fun, professional!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dining room was extremely slow, steak house was a bit faster. Order was complete twice in main dining, once in steak house. Servers are assigned too many tables and can’t provide efficient and quality (hot) food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
You could stay as busy as you wanted

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Female lead singers were outstanding

Children's Programs

Only 18 kids onboard and none were ours

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Hosea in main dining room and on Lido was ALWAYS smiling, eager to provide outstanding service and very personable. He should move up Carnival’s ranks very fast.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship size and layout was perfect. Tastefully decorated.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice sized balcony, could have accommodated loungers, but had chairs and table. Floor under couch needs vacuumed. Sharps container was in room from previous guest. Shower soap dish had slimy soap left from prior guest. Service through our cruise was ok.

Ship tip

Look for the garden path on 3 forward. Great place to play cards, read book, or just chill

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
Herded off ship in a hurry only to wait and stand in terminal over 1/2 hr waiting on luggage. Should have allowed passengers to wait comfortably on ship. Only 6 porters working. There may have been only one ship at port, BUT a 12-day cruise has the luggage of two cruises. It was bedlam in terminal.
