Review summary

Really enjoyed this cruise had a lot of fun. Really enjoyed the fact that we had 2 sea day at the end seem to give you time to relax after doing 4 port back to back. The crew was very friendly and nice.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Get on the ship was really easy. They but us in a big room and called boarding zone number to get on the ship. We had number 6 so once they started calling numbers it moved very quickly.

Went to Monkeyland through Carnival. The monkeys were the best part and the only good part of the excursion. They put us in a van that was so small. The ride was like 75 minutes. So it was really uncomfortable. The monkeys were really cool and you got to pet them. After the monkeys they took us to this farm where we toured it then came the 15 minute sells pitch. Where they tried to sell us all the stuff they make on the farm. Then back in the small bus for another 75 minute ride back to the ship. Would never do this excursion again.

Willemstad, Curacao

5 out of 5
Very colorful city. Went on a sunset cruise. Was very fun even though it rain for a lot of it.

Oranjestad, Aruba

4 out of 5
Went to resort that was great. The only think that was bad that we got there at 8 am and most the stores did not open till 10 am.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
