All in all it was a great time. Loved every minute. But had better cruises with carnival. Seemed the service was the worst. Was hoping for better ports

Stood in line for 2 hours. Very disappointed being the last day. It felt like a lifetime trying to get off the ship.

A lot of itineraries were changed due to the hurricanes... Maybe that was the issue with the ports? At least you still had a good time and made the best of your vacation :)

And who selected the ports for this cruise that you opted to go on?

It was adequate. I felt that the excursions were very disorganized and chaotically planned.

Good cruise

Good trip with a few hiccups
