Review summary

This was our first cruise, we enjoyed going out of Charleston because it was only a 2hr drive to get there. This may have been our last cruise because we are 8-9 hrs from the Orlando port so would have to add two days to our trip. We loved and appreciated all of the activities for veterans!! Thanks Carnival!

Our room Stewards led by Josie were Fantastic!! The waiters in the main dining room were superb and those cleaning tables in the other dining hall were great as well.

Ship Quality

Didn't care at all for the smoky casino..I couldn't sit in there to gamble.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The size of the room was good however there wasn't a plug near the bed for my husband to plug his c-pap and the bed was a bit uncomfortable for him so his sleep was interrupted for the entire stay.

Ship tip

The pool downstairs is very small and filled with kids, go upstairs and enjoy adult company!

Ask your cabin steward for a extension cord for your cpap machine. They'll get you one.

Carnival sails out of Jacksonville too. Not sure how far that is for you but it’s closer than Port Canaveral. Glad you had a good time.
