Review summary

It was an amazing cruise that went to Princess Cays, Grand Turk, and Nassau.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. We didn’t use VeriFLY, although I talked to people who did and they said it was super easy. However VeriFLY isn’t required, and I thought the whole process was quick and easy. My only tip is to have all your paperwork ready to check in at an even if quicker pace.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Great, as per usual with the food I eat on Carnival Cruise Line. We are in the Lido Marketplace (buffet) for all the lunches on the ship, and there was so many options to eat. There was Guy’s Burger Joint, Blue Iguana Cantina, Lucky Bowl, The Deli, Cucina Del Capitano, Pig and Anchor BBQ, and a lot more. As for dinner, we ate in the main dining room for all the nights except for night 2 where I ate at Bonsai Sushi.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were a lot of activities to try on the ship. It was hard to ever be bored. For example, there was Sports Square, Sky Court, Sky Course (ropes course), Carnival Waterworks (water park with 4 slides), &Mini Golf, 2 pools, 5 hot tubs, plenty of loungers, and more.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
It was good. The comedians were funny, although I didn’t watch any of the Playlist Productions shows. We did watch Deal and No Deal and that was good.

Children's Programs

My oldest children did go to Club O2, and they enjoyed it.

Great design, very easy to get from one place to another. Also, the ship was super clean and well-maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We got a Cloud 9 Spa Cabin, it was a balcony. The room was super spacious, and the beds WERE TO DIE FOR. They were SUPER soft and comfy.

Ship tip

The specialty dining was was amazing! I highly recommend Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse. Also, the Thermal Suite in Cloud 9 Spa was amazing.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Beaches were amazing! The sand was super soft and water was really pretty. In addition, we left the boat early and there weren’t many people on the beach yet. Also, the pool was very refreshing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We got off super early, and it was quick. As with previous cruises, the facial ID recognition made things super quick.
