Everything was perfect on our 1st cruise and we can’t wait to go again! Literally everything was just perfect. We went with an open mind ready to have a good time and loved it!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We had FTTF so we sailed through everything and got right on board! The lines get long but moved quickly.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We ate lunch at the buffet mostly, most dinners in sunset, and had the steakhouse 1 night. All our food was amazing, though it did take about 2 hours start to finish at Sunset. The Havana bar was one of my favorite places. Try the cafe con leche and cafecito!
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We did the couples pass to the thermal suites at the spa and loved it! The water slides were fun. Serenity was always crowded but still pretty peaceful. We went to some of the raffles but never won. Enjoyed playing Clue with the cast. Pools were a little small but we like grabbing a lounge chair on 10 away from the main action.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Adam was our cruise director and he was such a blast! We went to the mega deck party and had soooo much fun!
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
Our 16 y/o daughter practically lived in the O2 teen club ran by Mama Siggy, who is fantastic. You can totally trust your child with her. Mine was nervous and worried there wouldn’t be a ton of kids her age but Mama Siggy kept them entertained and active and having fun! Thanks Mama Siggy!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
I literally cannot day enough about how incredible the staff was! Every single person we met was super happy to help. I lost my wedding bands and several crawled around with me in the Havana bar looking for them. Everyone was kind and welcoming and went out of their way to make our trip fantastic!
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Our room was very clean. We like that you could find less traveled areas like the sun decks on 10. Sometimes room service would sit out in the hallway overnight but the staff is very busy so that’s fine by me. I have zero complaints about the ships cleanliness.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was bigger than I expected. It’s an aft extended view with the connecting balconies. I thought I would hate the shower but it was more spacious than I expected. We had enough room for the 3 of us to do what we needed to do and relax. 100% would book again!
Ship tip
Don’t pay attention to the complainers. This ship and it’s staff were incredible!
We spent the weekend here and wandered around one of our favorite cities! We shopped the markets and hung out at waterfront park and the battery and had a lovely time!
Junkanoo beach is so pretty! Bring snorkel gear! We walked to finncastle and the queens staircase, which was my personal favorite. It’s gorgeous! Must do! Also the Greycliff chocolatier for some yummy treats.
We rented the private oasis here and it was perfect for our family of 9. The staff was so incredible and the food and drinks never stopped flowing. They laughed and made jokes and danced around with us. They stood on the rocks and fed the fish so we could snorkel with them. Our private lifeguards were right there in case someone was in trouble. I will absolutely book the oasis again every time we travel with Carnival. I cannot say how incredible that experience was. It blew away our wildest expectations and I’m so thankful for that!
Sailing the Sunshine February 2020. So good to read your positive review. Glad you had a wonderful cruise. We’ve read terrible comments about smells and AC not working. Did you find your cabin temperature to be comfortable? Thank you.
