Review summary

Probably won’t book this ship again. A pet peeve is they necked down the path past blue iguana with a wall to gain a couple more tables. On the Valor this is easy to pass through area. On the sunrise the ice cream crowd and blue iguana crowd make it nearly impossible to pass.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Port officers sent us all the way to the other end of building versus right up from where we were.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Not near the quality food of other carnival cruises we’ve been on. Deli remained awesome, main dinner was good. Buffet lacked this on this one.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Love and Marriage is always hilarious. Piano bar is fun as well.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Comedian was ok

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Our main waiter at late dining was really bad. Appetizers, food and beverages slow to arrive. We were literally the last table served dessert as others had left. Don’t schedule late dining, you miss main production shows. We skipped dinner a couple nights to catch shows.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
We love deck 3, it’s quiet and a great place to watch the water and dolphins. However, this cruise, most chairs were stacked and not out for use. The railing felt like a rim of a margarita glass, as if it had not been wiped down. Most lean on rail while on deck 3 only to feel the grime.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cold box not cold. Housekeeper kept ice bucket full.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

Beautiful port

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
Take public transport not taxi, much cheaper and better experience

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Quick and smooth as we had a Everglades excursion that got us off ship and on bus early.
