Review summary

With this being Carnivals older ship, there was not as much available as there is on larger, newer ships. However, it is a cozy ship and for a budget and newcomers, it is worth the trip on.

We absolutely loved Cozumel! We went to Mr. Sancho’s while I’m port. It is well worth the money! It’s a must go!

I should not give only two stars because this has nothing to do with the ship itself; it has to do with the individuals when coming back into the country. They are the rudest bunch of people I’ve ever saw in my life. They were so rude to my 2 year old that it almost ruined our vacation. He’s 2 and just experienced the most excitement he’s had yet, so he was a little bit hyper. There was an old woman working at the port who was completely harsh with her tone and words with him.
