Review summary

The Carnival Spirit is a beautiful ship in the Carnival Fleet. The layout is easy to understand and find things. Overall it was a very nice cruise and would consider a carnival ship again in the future.

Ports of call

Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, Mexico

5 out of 5
This is a really lovely port - the people are friendly and the seem to really want to see the tourists. We've been to other ports in Mexico and didn't find them as warm and charming. We only were in Zihuartanejo for a few hours, but it was well worth the visit.

Acapulco, Mexico

5 out of 5
We didn't go on a Shore excursion package, we hired a driver for 8.5 hours and he took us where we wanted to go. The town is beautiful, gorwing and bustling as expected. The resorts on the other side of the mountain make this a place where we would want to return to.
Don't Miss: Seeing the new resorts on the other side of the mountain

Manzanillo, Mexico

3 out of 5
This is nice port - we only spent a few hours there.
