Review summary

This cruise was fun. It was my 4th and my adult daughter's first. We had such a great experience that we are already discussing future cruises! Thank you Carnival!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy experience! Every associate that we came in contact with welcomed us to Carnival and wished us a happy/fun vacation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We looked forward to our evening dining experience each night. Our wait staff was friendly, helpful and greeted us each night by name! We absolutely loved our head waiter Tucker, who was most accommodating to my dietary needs. Also the assistants Raymond and Alejandro were so polite and fun!

Ecstasy Dining Room

5 out of 5

The Ecstasy Dinning room was fabulous. The food tasted delicious. It was the perfect temperature and soooo flavorful. The wait staff was also friendly, greeted us by name everyday, and so fun. Thank you Tucker, Raymond and Alejandro for a wonderful experience!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed being out on deck as often as possible. There were always chairs available on the lido deck or veranda but we wished that the serenity deck had more lounge/deck chairs. There never seemed to be enough chairs for the adults only area. We loved the 80's 90's Trivia in the atrium with Kevin leading us in song!

Serenity Adult-Only Retreat

4 out of 5

We Loved going out on the serenity deck. I would rate it 5 stars but really would've liked to have more chairs in that area (even if they are in the shaded area). There just was never enough chairs during the day.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We LOVED the Amor Cubano show! The entertainers were friendly, approachable and super talented! Our Cruise director Kevin was hilarious, fun and knowledgeable. Gabriel did an awesome job entertaining us prior to our Muster drill and keeping us focused on the message.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had the cleanest room at all times thanks to Agung! We looked forward to our towel creations each day and turn down service at night. Agung always greeted us by name when we saw him in the hallway. Also our wait staff, Tucker, Raymond and Alejandro were so fun, greeted us by name and served us the most delicious meals. Yummmmm!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This ship is not huge which is why we chose it for a 4 night cruise. It only took us a half day to learn the layout. It would be nice to see the atrium get an update as the purple decor makes it look older, but with that said, this ship was well kept, and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Thanks to Agung's upkeep, the room was always clean. The size was perfect for 2 people. The beds were a bit too firm for my taste and of course narrow being that they were twin size. But again the room was comfortable for 2 people and Agung gave us extra blankets for our comfort as well.

Ship tip

One piece of advice when sailing, bring a power strip! We had one outlet (plug) in our cabin. We had 4 devices to charge at night. Other than that, RELAX and ENJOY!

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
Key West was beautiful especially from the air... We para-sailed and it was fabulous!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We loved that all of the shops were so close to the dock. We absolutely LOVED swimming with the Rays and Sharks!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Our disembarkation experience was super easy! I highly recommend using the luggage tag system, where you leave the luggage outside your stateroom the night before if you have late flights.
