Review summary

I went on this cruise with mu husband and 10 year old daughter for her winter break. We had a great time. We had been to Ensenada twice but never Catalina island. We had a good time at both ports. The captain reversed our itinerary due to weather but it was sunny and warm when we docked. The boat was beautiful and easily walkable. We were on the 8th floor and we could easily access the lido. My husband and I gambled at the casino and my daughter enjoyed some shopping. This was our 12th cruise on carnival and it did not disappoint.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The only reason this embarkation was a little weird was because it was raining and we had to stand outside before we could go into the dome. Besides that, it was pretty easy.
