Worth the money, but I paid very little. The ship feels very dated. The food leaves a lot to be desired. The entertainment could be better. The service is superb.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Embarkation was orderly once we figured out where to go. Better signage needed.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Food quality was hit-or-miss. Order it medium rare? Get prepared for well done. Staff was wonderful. Dining hours listed on the Carnival Hub App were not reliable.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Did karaoke most nights. It was good, but song selection was limited. Several of the advertised activities on the Carnival Hub App didn’t occur.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Didn’t measure up to the quality we found, most recently, on Norwegian.
Children's Programs
No children

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Pleasantly surprised with the spaciousness of the cheapest cabin.
Ship tip
If you like steak medium rare, order it rare; otherwise expect it to be well done. That was the experience of all four in our traveling party.
Grand Cayman simply wasn’t that interesting, compared with other islands. Did a combo tour that included Hell- a disappointment - and a turtle sanctuary. Swimming with the turtles was advertised, but not allowed.
That ship, more like a boat IS dated LOL. I remember on my third cruise, on the Grandeur of the Seas, we docked next to the Jewel of the Seas and I loved its appearance. It was the first Royal Carribbean ship I had seen to have the look of all modern cruise ships since. But of course you get what you pay for.
