Review summary

The cruise was so much fun and a great way to escape the colder weather. We loved both of our excursions and while there were definitely some frustrating moments throughout the trip it was an overall great vacation

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was good, we had the 10am check in time and were able to get through all the check in processes very quickly. Deducting 1 star because once we were through we had to sit in a waiting area for about 45 minutes before we were allowed to board. Would have preferred to know this upfront or had a later check in time to be able to walk right on

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food was good overall. However there wasn't a lot of diversity on the main dining room menu and the portions for some of the dishes were significantly smaller than others

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pool, gym, slides, and mini golf were great

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Went to one of the stage shows and it was good but short. There were 2 comedians, 1 was great and 1 was awful.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was very friendly and happy to help and answer any questions.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I liked the ship, only thing to be careful of is sitting near the smokestack on the upper decks. We sat near it one day and found soot all over us and our stuff

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was perfect size for 2 people

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We did an excursion through Cruises Only and it was great. We did snorkeling, stingray city, and starfish beach and it was so much fun and a great experience

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

5 out of 5
We did the dolphin swimming excursion through Carnival at Dolphin Cove. Well worth the money and an absolutely incredible experience. The place was a bit disorganized but the overall experience was amazing

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
They started disembarking 30 minutes earlier than they said they would and they went through the groups so fast they finished an hour before they said they would. This was frustrating for those that had planned to disembark late
