Review summary

First ever carnival cruise. Didn’t know what to expect but I was blown away by the amount of FUN onboard and the attentive staff. Will be choosing carnival in the future for sure!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Got on early than expected. Quick/easy process especially for such a different type of port. Room was ready right on time!

Awesome food in the main dining room! Guys and blue iguana always so good! The buffet was good but often didn’t have the largest selection but still good!

Onboard Activities

Great entertainment always happening somewhere on the ship. Always somewhere to dance and have fun!

Ship Quality

Great ship. Just a little confusing to navigate on the lower decks sometimes.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Super spacious cabin. Located close to the buffet and pool deck. Sometimes can be a little loud in the early morning when the buffet is setting up a floor above

Ship tip

Use the carnival hub app and plan out your days ahead of time!

If all you wanna do is lay in the sun all day this port is for you. But no real other activities and the lines at the bars are INSANE. One bartender at most bars and takes upwards of 30 minutes to get one drink sometimes. (My only really disappointment this cruise) great bartender just overworked.

Highly suggest any of the blue lagoon excursions. Beautiful area. Totally worth the money.
