Review summary

This Carnival Cruise was a great value that we booked fairly last minute. I would go again but would hope the Cenote Hopping Excursion would not get cancelled! We were really disappointed about that. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Everything went very smoothly - I like the new way of having a specific time to arrive at departure port.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The best dining experiences on this ship were the dining rooms. We especially liked the days they offered brunch in the dining rooms which had a great selection of breakfast AND lunch items.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I like to exercise in the pool so it was necessary to be there right when it opened. Otherwise, it would be too full to do anything. It would be nice if they opened the pool an hour earlier.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Not every ship has the capacity to do big shows. Mostly comedy shows on this one.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was awesome - all friendly and helpful. Probably one of the best things about this Cruise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
No complaints - very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I don't usually book inside cabins, so was pleasantly surprised by the room we had. It was quiet other than a banging noises due to it being next to a cleaning storage closet.

Ship tip

Eat in the Dining Room for Dinner and take advantage of the Brunch Dining Room when offered. However, the 24 hour Pizza, Guy's Burger Stand, Deli and Mexican Counter were great! The only place I did not like as much was the food offered on the Lido Buffet.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We pted for a 3 hour Snorkel, Mexican Lunch and Tequilla tasting. Our original Cenote Hopping Trip was cancelled as was all the other Excursions that took passengers to Playa del Carmen.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
There were way too many people in long lines trying to go through Customs.
