Review summary

Expensive drinks, and when I say that, I mean approx. $8.00 per beer; $13 per good drink. $12 per shot of Tequllia. I felt the cruise ticket should be free considering the price gouging that goes on that ship. A bottle of Visine cost me $13.00. But overall, I had a sweet time!

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Loading onto the ship was rushed but understanding, considering the quantity of guest.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The selection of meals was satisfying. I enjoyed the different classes of dining. Such as, the hard working society and poor people ate from the free buffet and several other free food areas, while as the middle class and "thinking you're rich" society got to pay for their meals and treated like royalty in the "I'm so special" dining areas. The drinks were expensive! I advise, get the 15 drinks a day package.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the fitness center, though they could upgrade it some more with better machines and barbells. I also enjoyed the sex with different single women, though I was unsatisfied with the last one as I'd discovered she was married later on.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Okay. Okay I lied, I didn't attend any of those shows due to being an alcoholic and male-slut. But I did do the karaoke with two ladies, solely for the purpose of getting laid.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The slave crew was very polite and one even pulled me aside and said, "HELP ME! THEY WON'T LET ME GO!!" And I said, "That's right. Now be a good little slave and smile for me."

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Excellent housekeeping and cleanliness; considering they're slaves and if they don't do it well, they'll be sent back to their third world countries with no American dollar.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect cabin. Though I had complaints with the one I was traveling with....Mother. I felt Carnival could have gone the extra mile and had her removed and placed in storage or where they place the liquor you purchase until you get back home.

Ship tip

Do not travel with your mother. Bring extra money so you too can act like you're special and eat from the "Look at me, I'm so special" dining areas.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

3 out of 5
I'm from New Orleans, actually Metairie, it's considered N.O. So I would need a book amount of space to write my negative experiences of these purgatory and "full of BS" towns.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
No excursion due to not knowing what excursion meant. This is was my first cruise. But I did manage to do a short site seeing walk. I enjoyed the hustlers and con jobs. Here's some advice, tell them you're allergic when they try to sell you things. "Cigars?" I'm allergic. "Take your picture?" Sorry, I'm allergic. "Huh??"

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
I finally learned what excursion meant and did the "All you can drink cheap corona party" (that was poured from those 42 oz beer bottles you see hobos and street people drinking from? Like Colt 45, King Cobra, etc? Ghetto beer?) But besides that, I loved it! Mario, the tour guide, was awesome! They even did the "Oops, look at us Mexican drivers, we just ran into a tree" act when we were driving to our destination. I was touched. I felt that was very thoughtful. It almost brought a tear to my eye.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No customs checks. No security checks. No drug-sniffing dogs. No interrogations. I felt like a Taliban in paradise.

Don’t like paying $6 for a soda at a movie theater and paying for a ticket also but it is what it is. Can’t pay for these super ships without charging.

Agree about the drink ticket. Also don't care for the drink package...$50 pp a day is very high.
