Review summary

My daughter and I have cruised w/ Carnival several times now and have always enjoyed the voyages. We've been upgraded in cabins each time and are hoping for another upgrade our next cruise. Overall, shipwise, everything is pretty clean, staff are helpful and intent on making the cruise as enjoyable as possible. Thanks for another great vacation!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The good is always great on the cruise.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Since I've been on several previous cruises, it seems that quite a few of the things to do are the same from cruise to cruise. It would be nice if there were a few things to do that would bring people together a bit more to share common interests, besides lounging around the pool (which seems to be just for the young crowd) or going to a "show."

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Sam (sorry, don't have last name) was the cabin steward on our cruise and he was excellent!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship was very, very clean and the room staff kept everything organized and clean as well.

Cabin / Stateroom

Really enjoyed the balcony on this trip. It would be great to be upgraded to a balcony suite next time around!

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

1 out of 5

Didn't really enjoy Progreso very much - out beach excursion left a lot to be desired. Too far to travel for the value of the trip.

Cozumel, Mexico

Really enjoyed the mini-sub excursion - the snorkeling crew was very informative and gave great instructions. Felt very safe and enjoyed it very much!
