Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Joe's Cafe

5 out of 5

The strawberry cheesecake is a must. It is off the chain!

Grand Buffet

5 out of 5

Always a good selection of food. The dinner menu is usually very similar to the main dining room.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

Our nightly ritual was Karaoke and Punchliner Comedy. Comedian Lowell Sanders did not disappoint. He was hilarious. Probably enjoyed the karaoke more than we ever have before. There was a family of 32 (grandparents, children, and grandchildren) that, I believe, all performed at one point or another...and they were awesome! Also a professional singer by the name of Kevin Harry had an amazing voice. Check him out on Facebook.

Children's Programs

No small children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward Artha was awesome! We got to know him quite well. The dining room staff was always very attentive. We loved the show every night.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is older but going into dry dock in early January. Besides that it was always spotless just showing a little wear and tear.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The bedding was very comfortable. It was the first time we didn’t have a balcony, so it was a little tight for 3 adults.

Ship tip

I don’t know if was due to a change in Carnival policy since we sailed on the Victory in April, but we were so relieved that we could pass down either side of the casino without having to breathe a lot of cigarette smoke!

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We rented a car and toured the island on our own.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
A beautiful island. The lunch provided was delicious.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We finally got to see Queen Victoria’s Staircase. Disappointed that our favorite restaurant in the Fish Fry district was not open when we got there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smoothest and fastest it’s ever been.
