Review summary

Ship is pretty old and definitely needs some help in places. The oool deck was ripped and popping up and I am surprised there has not been a lawsuit! But, it was a wonderful cruise, just not sure if I will choose Carnival again if there is a similar itinerary with another cruise line.

A little dissapointed in the staff by the pool. Food would sit around for an hour before anyone picked it up.

Very roomy for a cruise ship. Shower was actually a decent size.

Ship tip

The drinks are not free in Princess Cay with your drink package!!!!! Every other cruise line, it’s part of your package! $57 for 6 beers!!

Beautiful, fun place with beautiful, nice people! Did the kayak excursion with Andre and Juanito! Unbelievable! These guys were fantastic! Nice little kayak ride with Andre while Juanito went diving for sea creatures for everyone to meet!!! We got to hold sea cucumbers, star fish, sand dollars and anything else you can imagine! Then, he busted open a conch and a sea cockroach for us to eat! Fantastic!!!
