Review summary

Overall The cruise was very good With only a few things That were of notice.The 1st being the quality of food In the dining room Which came out Lukewarm at best. the Second thing that I would come and on is that I am A VIP cruise member on carnival,I went to there Diamond and platinum party sat down and never received a drink, A Never had a napkin placed in front of me to show that 1 of the waiters had asked if I wanted a drink Yet there were a couples around me that had 4 and 5 drinks sitting in front of them.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Never got what I considered a warm meal from the main dining room,Specialty dining at the seafood shack Was excellent.Buffets t ended to be Very good

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Decided I was going to go to the Sana And steam room Found that A cup of coffee head more steam and heat then either of these.Wasn't able to break A sweat in either of these,Found the only things I was really interested in was massages facials and the other things they specialize in.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
All of the shows were very well done Classy and very entertaining they produced and Displayed various talent singing and dancing of these exceptional young people.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
The service in the main dining room From our Waiter staff Was excellent Did 10 to find that throughout the ship Staff Personnel we're not As friendly as ones we had seen on the horizon just a month before

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The carnival pride is starting to show it's age, and definitely need some work Noticed rusting on the upper decks In the walking pavilion Windows In the lido deck dining room needed to be cleaned

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was what we expected for an inside cabin,Our steward was Timely and of course seem like they were never there but he did overall an excellent job

Ship tip

For someone who is crude many times You tend to see The inadequacies that are there, but for a 1st time cruiser it would be just fine

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

4 out of 5
This is our Getting on and getting off the ship port,Only problem in Tampa was getting from the Parking area to the terminal as The walkways are under construction and you had to walk all the way around

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Took the tour To the Mayan ruins in this port, Although it rained most of the day the tours and the sites were exceptional

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
Did zip lining and cave tubing,Only thing I would say about This tour Is that the zips were very short

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
This is our 1st return to Cozumel since 2019,They've done some work And it is of course very tourist friendly.The sales people in the stalls have not changed And You are Encouraged By the store Owners That there is he's the only and best In the city.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
This was a smoother Disembarkation Then on the Carnival Horizon in September out of Miami
