Review summary

We were rerouted due to hurricane Irma. Not the itinerary we had planned, but what beautiful weather, and I really enjoyed Halifax and St John. Beautiful cities. Was pleasantly surprised and hey, we were cruising! Thank you to Carnival for keeping us safe and still providing a great vacation experience!

Ship experiences

Loved the serenity deck! Peaceful and very relaxing! Hot tubs were not exactly hot!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great shows, music and comedians.

Children's Programs

Didn't bring the kids this time!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone we encountered was nice. Really miss my Room Steward and Waiters! They became friends!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Easy layout to follow. Well maintained. That staff hustles to clear tables and someone was always cleaning something.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Just what we had expected. Balcony big enough for 2, room size was just enough for the little amount of time you spend in there! Good size bathroom. Our Room Steward Eladio did an awesome job. Brought extra pillows, kept it clean!

Ship tip

May want to take a power strip. One outlet by the vanity area.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

4 out of 5
My "home" port. Didn't do any excursions here, but there's lots to do in the city. Stick to the Inner Harbor or tourist places.

Grand Turk Island Did not visit port

Rerouted to Halifax/St John Canada due to Hurricane Irma. Not the itinerary we had planned, but what a pleasant surprise! Enjoyed these ports very much, and were very lucky to have warm weather !

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island) Did not visit port

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Did not visit port

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy! Quick and painless! Very organized.

I agree! And not a single whine about deserving free stuff and obc to compensate for the reroute!

Nice to see a review about reroute where the poster did not complain and understood the necessity to reroute. What a positive attitude.
