Review summary

This was my first cruise so I might be a little bias but I'm being completely honest. I enjoyed the cruise so much from the service of the staff, the food and especially the entertainment. The ship is extremely big so it did not become very crowded in one area at all. The first night I did suffer from sea sickness so I had to purchase medication on board which was really inexpensive so please walk with medicine if u are prone to being sea sick. The buffet had a huge variety of food to enjoy at breakfast and dinner for lunch I would get something from off the grill which entailed burger and fries or I just indulged in a personal pan pizza. I attended the fine dining restaurant every night it was such an experience the menu had amazing dishes and the wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The ports were very enjoyable their were alot of activities to choose from i did not purchase any of the carnival excursions because it was too pricey. I purchased my excursions at the port which was a huge price difference and I extremely recommend. The activities on board was great as well you get a program in your mailbox every day so look out for it. Embarkation and Disembark was not that crazy like I was expecting so that was great. I purchased WiFi on board because I have an instagram business that I needed to constantly check on that was a waste the WiFi is horrible it was 30 dollars for the 8 days that I was on board but the service cut in and out so many times I which I would of saved my money for something else like a drink. The drinks were great as well too bad the all inclusive drinks option was too expensive. My 8 year old also attendes the trip with me and she had a blast there was so much for her to do as well. All in all my trip was great I definitely will cruise again.

Cabin / Stateroom

I would suggest for anyone to choose a mid ship stateroom we had rough weather at times of the trip and the rocking of the boat was unbearable.

Ship tip

Please walk with a sweater or sweatshirt its extremely cold on the ship I guess it's to keep germs at bay.
