Review summary

Cruise was wonderful until the last night. I purchased a picture of my family from 7/5/24 and when I picked it up I also had wallets. The wallets made it into the envelope but the 8x10 didn't and now I've no where to find that once in a lifetime photo of my entire family. They said it couldn't be digital because it was on the stair case... but ruined my entire trip... I hope someone can find it and send to to me. Again 7/5/24 picture was taken on the ship stairs... I saw the picture but it wasn't put into the envelope when I got home.

Food was wonderful, drinks were plentiful on the Cheers package....

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Didn't know that children in diapers were not allowed in pools, or on splash pad. This was very upsetting as our ship had 3 sea days... with nothing for them to do to cool off

Entertainment

Comedy was good, shows were okay,

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent service once we were allowed to move to the Vista dining room. Horizon was less that sub par... but in Vista we had Yasa and his team and they were outstanding....!!! I can't say enough about this team. Service was above and beyond what we've had on Carnival and all the other cruises we've taken.... OUTSTANDING! Thank you Tara, Dewa and Decter... !

Mazatlan, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did our own tour and loved it - Went to Stone Island... spent the day. Pay 1/2 of what Carnival wanted for the same...

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
Did the Carnival Relax, Beach, Lunch and it was excellent. The pool didn't have enough chairs... would be my only complaint. Food was good... service was good.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and easy... made our flight out of LAX which I'm glad we booked because Long Beach was a nightmare from what I'm told
