Review summary

Good surprise, this was a rescheduled trip from Covid that we picked for itinerary on a different larger ship which Carnival later swapped for Spirit and were disappointed, but our son went to Alaska on Spirit and really liked it and we ended up really liking it and had perfect weather to boot, now we have to wait 6 months to sail sister ship Pride!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room steward Mu had a million dollar smile always greeted us and kept our room spotless and he wouldn’t say but he had a ton of rooms to take of of we would see him all down the hall.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

As people say it is a funky ship but it really is fun to explore and easy to get around. It was clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Nice size balcony, bed was good, room good size only negative bathroom dated and cheesy shower curtain.

Ship tip

Explore and enjoy the little places around the ship. Get to sanctuary early like most ships.
