First B2B, First Interior Room, First Time out of Miami

Considering COVID, I would argue that there really was not much difference in time that it took to get from the street to the ship. Pretty efficient.

We ate at all venues and they were great. The main dining menu selections are noticeably reduced, but food quality was still excellent.

Not a big activities type, just relaxing for the most part. We walked the track before sunrise each morning during our 10 days and that was something we had missed during the cruise shutdown.

Saw all of the playlist performances and 3 of the comedians during the cruise. Those were all great. I must admit and maybe it was personal taste, but the musical acts were a bit lacking. The Latin Duo were great, but nothing else was of interest.

No kids

Evening Dining: We heard from our cruise on the Magic last month that Michelle was on Sunshine. He had her on two previous cruises, so we asked if she could be our server. We asked Maria (Junior Host) on the Lido Deck at embarkation lunch if this was possible, we did not want to cause any issues. She was over the top accommodating and said she would do her best to work with her boss to see what could be done. Her assistance was appreciated, and we were able to be assigned to Michelle and her Team. I want also say that Maria consistently checked on us while dining in the Radiance Dining Room. She was reassigned to the Sunshine dining room and even then, made an effort to come over to the Radiance dining room to check on us! She was friendly and accommodating throughout the cruise! Michelle and her team (Bernadette and Marphee) were great. Michelle is a true professional and leader. The team worked smoothly and did not miss a beat in serving us. We look forward to seeing Michelle on future cruises. The following people related to dining make our experience especially noteworthy: The Maitre D’ Milo and Denis. Both were exceptional and they constantly checking on us whether in the Main Dining or Lido Deck for Lunch and Breakfast. On the Lido, we were so happy to speak with Martha, Angela, Alexandru, Sovi, and Angelo. During a “sit down breakfast” we had the pleasure of being served by Virgilio and during a “Sea Day” Brunch being served by William. Both were friendly, accommodating, and efficient. Ben, who worked the omelet station was fast, efficient, and friendly. We sat near that station so we say that he was entertaining and brought everyone’s spirit up. Sudita, who was in charge of the Lido Deck, was great. He ran the team well, and joked with us as well. Evening Dining: We heard from our cruise on the Magic last month that Michelle was on Sunshine.

We saw him often in the hallways and he was always friendly, called us by name and always asked how we are doing. He is kind and sincere for sure.

Cleanliness and overall condition were great. Ship layout was consistent with just about every ship with Carnival.

This was our first Interior Room and pleasantly surprised. It was one of the smaller class interior rooms so there wasn't a sofa, but did not feel cramped as it felt like you could actually fit one. Lots a room to move around. Pretty large TV in my opinion and great to have a refrigerator. The room was quiet and glad we did not hear any noises from the main dining that was just above us.

Platinum allowed us early departure and the facial recognition system immigration now uses for people with Passports made leaving the terminal simple. We were on the curb before we knew it. Uber was quick, they pick you up on the out island.
