Review summary

For some reason the ship wasn't in Miami Port on time. The cruise was good. According to my expectations. The purpose of a cruise like that is to know several different Ports and Islands and Countries. But it didn't happen because the bad weather condition. Even to be in the outside pool was hard, to much wind and not too hot. There was plenty of food so that everybody could enjoy the time inside the ship.

Embarkation

I had the pre check in done at the Airport. The employee in the gate didn't realize and gave me ZONE 5. It took a long time to go on board.

Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

Pool: it was raining and the wind was shacking the ship. The pool was emptied one day. Fitness center: were okay. But I do not like to make exercises. I liked the comedy Watched just one movie on Deck 9. Went to Actions.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The comedy was really good. The magician was really good too. I didn't go to musicians/DJs.

Children's Programs

I did not have children with me.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Mahfudim ( stateroom steward ) = so friendly, always calling me for the name, always ready to help. Coming to clean the staterooom at the time I have chosen. Sorry, do not remember the waiters name but they were all very friendly. The persons on the gift shopping, jewelry, in the bars were friendly also.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship's layout and design okay. Just a little bit complicated to go forward and backward. I am not good about directions. Common areas and restrooms always clean. Quite often the restrooms were being cleaned while I went to.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Comfortable. Always clean except for a cockroach's dried leg inside one drawer.

Ship tip

They accomplished with all that was promised. Good price, good food and I felt at home. Definitely I will make more cruises with Carnival. Just need to choose a non hurricane season.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Did no excursions.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Yes, I did one excursion to Mayans Ruins of Tulum.

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
It is Okay. But it is necessary to take the tender. It is not Carnival fault and it can not be avoided. But made me worried about having enough time to make the tour and come back before the ship departure.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
The port is good. It will be great in a normal day. It was raining too much. I did a half excursion, just on land. The fast boat could not be done due the weather condition.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

Security reasons didn't allow the passenger to get into the tenders.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Normal experience. Thousands of people. Of course, I waited in line for a long time.

Bad weather is a rower even for land vacations but you did make the best of it and enjoyed your cruise. More than a few others that thinks a cruise line can just park a big ship in any port because they want the captain to do it.
