Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is showing it’s age, but the crew did maintain it the best they could.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfy room. Thought it would be noisier, but we did not hear a peep and didn’t even feel too much motion from the ship.

Ship tip

Have fun and enjoy the ship

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
After disembarking we got a day pass for the Kimpton hotel and we were able to lounge by the pool and beach before our flight home in the evening. They held out luggage and provided outdoor showers and private bathrooms to change before heading to airport.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
We walked over to Junkanoo beach which is right off the port about a 15min walk.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
The private island is my favorite but carnival’s tendering process needs a lot of improvement s. We waiting until mostly everyone was off the ship because we didn’t want to deal with the lines and we did not have a timed ticket for the tender. That didn’t help us. They had us walking from one end of the ship to the other making lines after lines and then cramming us in a small corridor to wait before we could board. On the way back from Half Moon Cay we just waiting until. The final time to avoid the lines and that worked perfectly.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Easy port to navigate. Walk off the ship and then went to the beach right off the port. We walked a bit on the beach to a less crowded area and the water was perfect for swimming and lounging.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. We picked the latest disembarkation time. Once off the ship since we had passports, we used the facial recognition and we did not have to wait in any lines
