Review summary

Overall, the cruise and experience on the Spirit was just as pleasant as possible. The separate pools (smoking and non-smoking) was outstanding. The spa and the spa’s staff were beyond professional and provided the BEST service. Dorothy was AWESOME! Food was great, service was excellent and the team were superb! Ship well maintained and clean. Another GREAT, RELAXING and FUN cruise! Already scheduled another one on Carnival for March 2025!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I was surprised about the ship. It was not as large as expected but just right in size. It was 3/4 full with limited children. LOVED IT! Perfect size.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was the same as all others. However they really need to increase the size of the tv. They had a 19” in there! The couch was a little worn with a slash in it (foam was showing). It really needs to be replaced. More privacy on the balcony though. Room was neat and clean upon arrival.

Ship tip

Two pools on Lido deck that were separated with automatic glass doors and bar. Get this, one pool was for the smokers and the others for non-smokers. You could not smell any cigarette smoke while on the Lido deck relaxing in a lounge chair, splashing in the pool and sitting at a table playing cards, or a game and eating your Guy’s burger! Best thing about the ship.

Ports of call

Mobile, Alabama

4 out of 5
Not bad, but not the best. Need to improve on the drop off and pick up. Lines were incredibly long. People taken way long to drop off luggage, etc. they should have a drop-off area and a pick up area SEPARATE from each other. People don’t listen and take too long to load and drop off which causes long delays. Off-site parking was close with complimentary shuttles.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I have been to Cozumel many times and love the food there.

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
The huge tender ride to Belize was 25 mins and quite relaxing. It was almost like taking a boat ride. I didn’t want to get off. The ride back to the ship was shorter. It seemed as if the tender was riding on top of the water. Belize was nice and once again, food and drinks were excellent. Many different nationalities there and most spoke very good and clear English.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick!! Although disembarking is one of the most depressing cruise experience, it was quick, easy. Hated to leave.
