Review summary
Embarkation for us was to long, other then that nice cruise.Embarkation
We had 11:30 - 12:00 check in , arrived a little late about 12:30 long line for 12:30 check in, possibly late debarkation?. Anyhow two hours from time we arrived in line finally on boat about 2:45.. Still many people after us so ship got a late start leaving.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Dining room stewards were excellent. We all know the cost of food has risen dramatically and with that in mind the food was pretty good. My friend is on low sodium diet and they were very attentive to her needs. Lido deck was Lido. Like that they have brunch in dining room until 11-12 or sea days.
Onboard Activities
Lots of trivia, karaoke, typical cruise entertainment
Service and Staff
Everyone we dealt with was excellent. Staff excellent in all venues we accessed.
Ship Quality
Very clean and crew cleaning constantly
Cabin / Stateroom
We had a Havana cabin balcony room. It was small compared to other balcony rooms. Not a fan of the balcony/ deck , balcony doors open to a deck about 3-4 feet of privacy and then open on both sides with a low open fence type of barrier so not private at all. Also the promenade deck area although only for Havana rooms had quite a few people walking by. The pool area was nice but during the day many people, not as crowded as regular pools and we could always find a place to sit. Pool is not much bigger then the two big hot tubs. We went to hot tubs in the evening. The big downer was our neighbors on the second day a huge argument yelling every cuss word loudly and with much anger. After awhile I considered calling security but one of them left. Rest of day on and off arguing but not to the volume of the first melee. I personally would not do Havana cabin again, but location was good. Maybe a Havana suite ,not an aft they overlook the pool area. Just my take on it . We aren’t the typical carnival passengers ladies 75 and 78. But we still enjoyed the cruise.
Ports of call

Disembarkation
A little later then expected , we did not carry our luggage we checked and picked up on dock. The disembarkation was actually started 15 minutes ahead of schedule but the ship was at capacity and somewhere it slowed down we got off about 11:00
