Our first cruise was a guys trip non of us ever been on and had felt ripped of by carnival the price we paid we should have had 2 rooms they never suggested when it was booked (over the phone) so 4 guys in one room was crazy on top of that my alcohol bill was like $800 buck so now when we cruise I will always get the drink package it’s well worth it. This cruise triggered many more so I’m very glad I took the chance and went on this cruise

Ship tip

First time cruises get as many tips as you can before going like if it’s 4 adults you can get 2 rooms same price as if you are in one room (carnival wants to get as much money as potential so they will not tell you hey you guys should get a separate room smh) and if you are a drinker the drink package is well worth it alcohol (15 drinks a day), unlimited soda, water, & coffee

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

At the time I would have thought this would turn out to be one of my favorite ports (cause it was our first trip) we did a atv ride to a beach where we did a boat ride (2 people per boat) they stopped and let us pet dolphins had lunch swim ( all included except alcohol lmao) it was great worth every dollar. When we came back to the port we got massages right on the beach before going back on the boat I highly recommend

Definitely a 3rd world country but I loved it the tour guide was great we ate ants (yes I said it ants they taste like oranges) we did cave tubing (we thought it was river tubing) it was nice and worth it lunch was included as well had to pay for drinks (alcohol)

Thanks for sharing. You've been on three past cruises and didn't figure out the passengers per room thingy?
