Review summary

First timer, I should have done a 3 to 5 day. 7 days was too long. When returned to Baltimore on the 23rd my bank card that I had on file for the room was stolen and used by someone (had to be a worker) on Carnival Pride in Miami FL

I would definitely check to ensure the chargers are yours ...we had someone from carnival use our registed credit card in Long beach and LA while we where at sea ... and of course didn't know until we checked into our hotel in Long beach on our return was checking my bank on line it was for over $1500 worth of stuff including take always and purchased items ..we had to do a police report they came to our hotel in Long beach also a report with Carnival at Long beach ... we got the money back but took three months and they charged carnival staff members ... police said it was common ... not nice :-((((((

During the cruise they will authorize $$ daily based on how much you spend. Once the cruise is over they capture and settle for the exact amount of $$ you spent. Carnival’s corporate office is Miami, so if you see a charge from Miami/Carnival that would be correct.

7 days is a bit much to get feet wet first time. 4 or 5 days is better here I think.

As others have said, a little research ahead of time usually makes for a much more enjoyable trip of any type. It is very easy to research now on this and other cruise sites and TripAdvisor.

It sounds like you had a good time. With a little research on what to expect you would have had a great time. 😎

I respect your review but a little bit of research would have had you better prepared. All cabins are small unless you get a suite. Remember it is a ship. Yes the beach is not near the port of freeport but it is beautiful. And that topic is discussed endlessly on this app. And of course grand turk has incredibly beautiful beaches. And yes everyone on this app would have told you to bring water shoes. Not a secret.
