Review summary

Our family of 15 (ages 5-70) took this cruise and it was absolutely fabulous!!! There was something for every one to do-swimming, movies, dancing, comedy shows and so much more. We were never bored and enjoyed all the onboard activities.  Our room steward was very attentive and our rooms were kept clean and tidy. The dining room attendants were friendly and knew all of our names by the end of the first night. Drink specials were delicious, desserts were decadent, the burgers were juicy, the burritos and tacos were Bueno! If you go hungry, IT IS YOUR FAULT. The shopping at the pier in Cozumel was excellent. The shops were clean and the employees were friendly. Our beach excursion was what we looked forward to the most and it did not disappoint. The ocean water and beaches were pristine and felt like paradise. We are already looking to book another cruise--an even longer cruise so we can enjoy it that much longer.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Don't skip on balcony room. It was a wonderful way to relax at the end of a very long day-sitting out on the balcony listening to the water was calming.

Ship tip

One tip? Too Many to pick one. Try all the food, pack comfortable clothes and shoes, read your daily itinerary, go to everything even if it doesn't sound fun because it will be!

Our excursion was to Cozumel. We went to Club Cozumel Caribe (see the picture). It was not booked directly through Carnival but there were taxis waiting at the pier (just outside the shopping complex) that took us. It was totally safe and legit. There was a whole crew of taxi drivers with 15 passenger vans so we were with a group. All the taxis and drivers stayed on the property with us and had us back to the pier in plenty of time. They know the Carnival schedules. They originally told us it would be $25 per person for 5 of us and we offered $80 cash and they took it. The beach had chairs, lawn chairs, a pool, showers, snorkeling for $5, clean restrooms, a nice bar and restaurant. I would say it was worth it.

Great to hear you enjoyed it! I was wondering what excursion you did? Currently looking for a beach day when I sail the Triumph in November. Thanks!
