Review summary

Our trip was wonderful. It ended poorly on night five. There was music and noise and partying going on past 1:30 AM. We discovered that we were under the piano bar. Trying to rest before the big day for disembarkation was impossible. I recommended that they stop the music in the piano bar like 12 midnight or 1 AM. There were only five people in there and they were all drunk. I also suggested that they not have the volume and the microphone so loud disturbing the rest of the ship. Why allow five people, drunk, disturbing the other 2000 guest? Carnival service was made aware of this.

Stingray excursion was so wonderful. Our time in Port was too short. Could have stayed for at least eight hours.

We were busy with our excursion planned. I wanted to go to a beach, however that did not happen. We went back to the ship early. I will certainly go to the beach and snorkel next time I come back.

That's what I like about carnival over other cruise lines . The option to enjoy entertainment till the wee hours of the morning we I choose to . Other lines roll up the carpet at 10 pm leaving people bored. I do my research on a cabin to make sure it's not in a location that's understandable when I pick 1 .

Sounds like it didn’t disturb 2000 people but only the ones in your cabin. Research your cabin next time and pick a room not under the clubs or theatre or pool. I personally cruise to have fun and not sleep. You can sleep when you’re dead.

Making sure to bring ear plugs in case I can’t sleep, but then I might be one of those doing the partying 😁

We party or in the casino until 2 a.m. the last night, not to sound rude, but we pay for our vacay to have fun, we can sleep when we get home. There are several cabins that are noisy until early a.m. hours, kitchen prep starts early, under/over Casino, kitchen, Lido, dance club...one has to view the deck plan and make sure their cabin is not in those locations if noise bothers them.

Next time book a room that's not under a club, bar or the theater. Research your room location a little better next time.
