Review summary

This was an Elite offer. Free drinks for me and my companion, platinum status the entire cruise, free room service, gifts in the room, free casino play, got invited to exclusive parties with food and drinks where you did it have to swipe your card! Many perks. Oh free laundry! Loved it. Deff recommend.

Prob the most disorganized port we have been too. We usually cruise from Miami.

Food and Dining

Everything was pretty good. Except Sea Day Brunch. We went to the first one. Pretty disappointing. Everyone usually raves about it.

Ship tip

Look up the Facebook group for your date. We had a bar crawl and it was one of the best times we ever had cruising!

Did an excursion that took forever. So long I can't even take the time to write about it🤣 Visited a local restaurant called "La Langosta Feliz" which translates to "The Happy Lobster" 7000 percent recommend. Food, drink, service top notch! Take a taxi from port. Be sure to negotiate a round trip. Our driver waited outside for us the entire time.

We got off in about 15 minutes. Way more simple than getting on the boat.

Appreciate your feedback. It took me several cruises to figure out what “ELITE” was. For those wondering, it’s a casino level and Platinum in a Carnival loyalty level. Glad you enjoyed your cruise and all the perks.
