Review summary

Grand Turk and Half Moon cay are worth the visit if you like nice, calm beaches where crystal blue water. The ship was very nice and there were plenty things to do. Kids loved it.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The port employees were very friendly. The facility had great AC in the summer sun. We waited in a line, but it moved.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We always used the main dining room for dinner. We used the Lido buffet cafe for breakfast and lunch. Guys Burgers and the Mexican restaurant were great. The service in the main dining room was good and we enjoyed the food.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Carnival has more activities than you can do. I liked that there were many activities with different start times. It allowed the passengers to be disbursed and not feel over-crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Dr. E got annoying at times, but he did great with the kids. The shows we saw were well done.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Our kids loved Camp Ocean and requested to be in the camp as often as possible. Great activities and schedule.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Wow! THis crew works hard. It is an older ship but kept immaculate. The folks were amazing and deserve all the credit.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
There are pros and cons about the design. I liked how the common areas were spread across the ship. I did not like the hallways having sharp turns. The cleanliness was perfect. There is probably not another hotel this clean.

Ship tip

We liked the 8th floor because were spent most of the time on the 9th floor (pool and cafe). It was easy to go back and forth. The down side is people reserve the chairs all day and never sit in them.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Beautiful. You can snorkel at the beach.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Could this be the most beautiful beach in the world? Wow! I wish the ship stayed two days.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

2 out of 5
Freeport is Baltimore in the Bahamas...I went but I would not choose a cruise to go to Freeport. i hear Taino beach is great, but I didn't go and wish I did.
