Review summary

This was another successful Carnival Cruise for our family and large group, everyone had fun and enjoyed the Ports of Call, Carnival may not be everyone’s favourite cruise line, but for us and the kids it works, we will continue to use Carnival and work towards our Diamond status

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Platinum member, so fast getting on the ship, absolutely no delays in checking in, took 15 minutes from giving our luggage to the porter and getting on Lido deck, Port of Miami knows how to handle the large crowds, there was 5 ships going out to sea,

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Table 150 in the MDR had Redentor, Ervin & Carmina serving our large group of 14, they did an amazing job, great service all weeks, for 2 adults our drinks showed up quickly once we sat down, as we had mentioned at the 1st night just bring out our drinks once we sat down, Room steward Dedy was very good in looking after stateroom 8156

Miami, Florida

We always arrive a couple days early and enjoy Miami Beach, love the City of Miami, so much to do

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
Was our first time at Half Moon Cay, what a great beach day, we just relaxed on the beach, glad we rented a clamshell for getting out of the Sun,

Grand Turk Island

Another great beach stop,

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Was very quick, we took zone 7 to give us time for breakfast and once our zone number was called we caught the elevator with no delay and pretty well walked right of the ship, luggage was already waiting for us, facial recognition by US Customs is fantastic, just a quick scan and a green check mark and we where done
