Review summary

this was our first cruise and we saved it for our honeymoon. at first glance the ship was in immaculate condition and the service was impeccable. later we noticed a few items that were worn but not dangerous and in the middle of the week room service seemed to slack (3 hrs to get dinner?). overall it was a very enjoyable time and would travel on carnival again.

ended up listening to a timeshare presentation but got free lunch and drinks out of it.
Don't Miss: cliff diving near dolphin memorial. go with a group. if you go alone the diver will charge you more (yes you have to pay to see him jump)

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

5 out of 5
we did the extreme canopy excursion and would reccommend it to any one
Don't Miss: extreme canopy

Pros: room size
