Overall we enjoyed the cruise. It was a crazy week across the US, which made things a bit nerve wracking! Nevertheless, we took full advantage of being in such a clean environment with great people and great food! Our ports were cut short which was disappointing but we made the best of it!
Embarkation
4 out of 5
The previous sailing was unable to disembark until a passenger was tested for coronavirus. We were left sitting outside most of the day with little information. Not sure if Carnival had the answers we needed but it was frustrating nonetheless. They did eventually feed us and once it was decided that we would not be boarding were advised that we would be reimbursed for hotels. However we were not able to obtain our luggage as the porters had left at this point. The next day embarkation went very well!

Onboard Activities

Emma was wonderful as a cruise director! My teens loved the Skyzone. We also liked the Skyride and ropes courses.
Entertainment

Loved all of the shows. My teens also enjoyed them. Very high energy and entertaining.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Considering how difficult the embarkation process was (they had to clean the rooms for embarkation twice as the previous passengers were let back into their rooms) they went above and beyond!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Ship was super clean with washing stations and hand sanitizer everywhere. I am not a huge fan of the overall layout. I like the big open atrium like on the Magic.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Loved our location on deck 11. Literally steps from everything! We could hear the Lido parties but we bring a fan and slept great!
Cruise Port not quite complete yet and most stores not open. Took taxi to Malecon. Very nice, clean and cool art. Walked down to Hotels where we thought we could get a day pass but were told they were sold out. Went back a bit to restaurants on beach and had a good lunch and enjoyed the beach.
Did whale watching excursion. Was ok. Probably just a bad day to see whales. Saw some way off in distance. Went back to port and shopped for a bit. Then went to public beach. Very clean, no vendors and great sand!
