Review summary

We loved our cruise & overall had a great time. We definitely would take another cruise with Carnival.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was a very easy process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
My adult children enjoyed the food for the most part. However, I did not but I am a very picky eater. We loved the ice cream machine!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the trivia contests & of course sitting by the pool.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I enjoyed all the 80’s themed entertainment. We went to see 2 different comedy shows with 2 different comedians. The first one wasn’t funny to me at all but the second comedian was hilarious. We really enjoyed him. The Playmakers were good but for the Rock show on the last night they just sang they didn’t dance so I was disappointed in that. For the most part we enjoyed the entertainment. The fun squad did an excellent job!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We couldn’t ask for better service. They were top notch.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Even though the ship is older, it was very clean & well taken care of.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size was small but comfortable & it was kept very clean by staff. Our only complaint was our room was very hot. The staff brought us a fan but it was still quite warm.

Ship tip

Book excursions for your ports. On port days go to brunch. Enjoy yourself!

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We loved Cozumel! We did the Beach/Shopping excursion. It was a great way to see the city & experience their culture. Our guides did a wonderful job! The only criticism we have is that we spent more time shopping than at the beach. My family would have rather spent more time at the beach & less time shopping however that’s just our personal preference.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We didn’t get all of our time because of a medical emergency on board. The staff was very accommodating in helping us get another excursion since ours was canceled due to the lack of time there. We loved our excursion of the dolphin encounter. It was very fun & informative. The dolphin instructor did a great job!

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Once they called our number we were off the ship in just a few minutes. It seemed to very well organized.
