Review summary

I had an awesome time. I cannot wait to go again! From the moment I entered my expectations were exceeded. I have heard about the food on these cruises, but truly surprised on how everything was so amazing from the service to the food. I could't believe how talented the dancers and singers were. I will remember this trip always!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The wait staff in the London Room Kana and Florin were truly amazing. The food was excellent from the beginning to the end. We were able to try different cuisine's as well. We ate Eggs Benedict and steak for breakfast in the Paris Room for brunch, that was suggested by Florin and Kana. The pizza was terrific at anytime of the day. IMade, the server had a smile 24/7. I never eat burgers but Guy's Burgers were delicious.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We thought the live dancing and singing shows were great. The first night was my favorite. We enjoyed the games and our group won trivia. We also enjoyed the Kareoke. Although we didn't win we enjoyed the casino and the music. We had lots of fun in the Piano Bar.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Kana and Florin in the London room were excellent. They made our dining experience perfect. We asked many questions since it was our first time. They answered and helped us enjoy our experience on the cruise to the fullest. Bosco was an awesome room steward and kept our room impeccable, and replied to our every need.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I was so happy that we had gotten a balcony. I didn't feel closed in and the view was amazing. I liked that even though the rooms were not big they had a place for everything. I could organize my room and could utilize the space in comfort.

Ship tip

Don't be scared about going to Progresso that was my favorite. We didn't get an excursion we got off the ship took a bus to the flea market and great shopping. The people were awesome. We walked to the beach and we went to a cozy air conditioned bar right across from the beach and Manual was our server. We had the best time and the best salsa and Carona's. Cozumel was beautiful but we went to the beach paid $3 and $18 for water bouncers and snorkeling, also ordered what we wanted for food. The beach and the pool were amazing at Paradise Beach.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

We loved Paradise Beach in Cozemul it was awesome. We snorkled played on the bouncers, laid out on the beautiful beach and pool. It was only $3 and $18 for bouncers boards snorkeling chairs and umbrella's. A wonderful day. Progresso was awesome shopping, the beach, the people was an amazing experience. Can't wait to go back.

boricua1- I was replying more in humor, but thanks for the helpful hints. I tend to research a lot before a cruise. That, and I am a Princess Elite so they happen to be my ships of choice. Hope all your future cruises meet your needs, and make you satisfied. Happy cruising!!

Gil 155 First decide which Island you would like to see, then goggle if is northern/southern/eastern or western Caribbean and go from there. If you want to go to Spain, Italy, Hawaii, etc, find which ship sails out there. That's how we have done some many with Carnival, itinerary and flexibility when we are looking. Good Luck

So not only does the ship carry you around, but they feed and entertain you? Sounds like a good deal. Where do I sign up???
