Review summary

I have a family of six. We have two older kids (13 and 11 years old) and two younger (6 and 3).  We have a difficult time finding a family outing that suites everybody. Normally the younger kids dictate what we do for fun which makes it not so great for the older kids. On this cruise, all of us had the time of our life. We needed two staterooms. The older kids had their own and my wife and I shared one with our little ones. This accommodated all of us perfectly. The older kids could do what they wanted while my wife and I had fun with the younger two. We would all get together for our excursions, a few formal dinners, and our family photo shoot (By the way, I would HIGHLY recommend Jasmina Ban for a photographer. Our photos were by far the best we've ever had.). The weather was unseasonably cold on most days but it didn't matter. We still had such a great time everyday. Carnival did so many little things that make a huge impact on our stay. They make all the logistical stuff as easy as possible. The friendly and personable staff are the second to none, hands down. To Rizwan from India, Muhammad from Indonesia, Paolo our steward, Dillon in Circle C, Matthew in Camp Carnival,  Alexander the bartender, and Jasmina our photographer, I say thank you for making our trip so wonderful.

Ship tip

At Nassau, go to the Blue Lagoon. It is a perfect day for any family. Don't forget to get your face painted by Claudina, you won't believe her talent!

Were you on the 3/12 departure? We were on that one and like you said the weather was cold, we had a great time. Both of us can't stop thinking about it.
