First carnival cruise. I would go again. But know ahead the embarkation is confusing once onboard and overall no enforcement of rules. There were many children on our cruise (late Sept) and they made it loud and used hot tubs all week. Ports of call were great. I can’t believe how beautiful the water is and overall how clean the islands were. Food and staff couldn’t be better and made the trip even better.
Embarkation

Great until we got on the ship. Then disorganized until later in the afternoon. Muster drill specifically was very disorganized compared to my other cruises

Good and staff were more than 5 stars. Lots of variety and very friendly service!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pools and hot tubs were crowded unless it was before 11am. Children should not be allowed in the hot tubs. It was not monitored or enforced. I did love the adults only area and spent most of my time there. Spa was great too!
Entertainment

Loved the cruise director Georgia and the fun squad. All were great!!! I went to all the shows-performances were great. And the extra activities like deal or no deal, bingo, comedians etc. all fantastic!!!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
1000 stars. We had amazing service across the board. The ENTIRE STAFF from the folks cleaning to the service staff were friendly and helpful. We were lucky enough to meet and have Lani our stateroom attendant. She made us feel like her personal guests. So sweet. And our dining team. Thanyasorn, Rowman, Khem and Shobad. All were incredible and I’m so sad we don’t get to see them any more. They never stopped working!

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It was perfect. Beds were comfy, storage was good, room was clean and bathroom was perfect size.
Umm. That was the most thorough and helpful review ever! You put me at ease. We cruise in 12 days so now I'm getting excited. I was scared because I kept seeing complaints. People were saying the a/c didn't work and so on.
I specifically enjoyed the bit about the kids in the hot tubs. They never regulate in that area. I purposely book cruises when kids are in school. Every time they are there anyway. 😆 I'm so looking forward to the adult-only area.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Can you share more how the muster drill was disorganized and maybe what you learned for us who are going to be sailing on this ship in the future?
you lost me at... muster drill was disorganized. it's the easiest thing in the world. you go to your station, watch them for less than 2 minutes and done
