Review summary

Had a great time and met a lot of great people. Already wanting to plan the next cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was great! It took no time to get on the ship and to our room and I was just happy to be there.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything was tasty especially the chef’s table. We were being served things that I never would have tried in a million years. So glad I did because I enjoyed every appetizer, entree, dessert etc. I thought that chef Sanjoy was extremely nice to our group and you can tell he definitely takes pride in his work. Each dish was a masterpiece and almost too beautiful to eat. He seemed to enjoy watching everyone experience the different dishes and had no problem answering any questions from our group.

Alchemy Bar

5 out of 5

This venue was excellent. I am not a heavy drinker but have to say we spent a lot of time at the Alchemy Bar on our cruise. Jason, Aliaksandr, and Bojan were absolutely the best and I miss their cocktails since I’ve been home. They were so much fun to be around and their drinks were delicious and strong. They really seem to like entertaining the crowd and are hands down masters of mixology. Aryana at the red rum frog and Kanchana at the blue iguana were also a favorite of our group. Very engaging and great with names making us feel important. The red rum treasure was all I ordered at red rum. So light and delicious and the margaritas at blue iguana were the best I have had. All of these guys made this cruise unforgettable. Thank you so much 💋

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Drinking and shopping were mostly my on board activities. We did a few of the trivia games and had a great time. The musicians we randomly saw were great as well.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I saw a few and had no complaints! All the musicians were very talented.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Although we had no kids with us I did notice there was a lot to do for kids on a ship. It had me thinking of cruising with my nephews. Everything looked wonderful. Seems Carmival thought of everyone.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I loved every one of our waiters, bartenders, and our room steward. Everyone was so nice and really took good care of us. Our room steward Javier was wonderful. He really took care of us and made our room clean but also made us feel special. He remembered our names and left us messages in our cabin. On our last day we left him a message with our tip and I hope that we made him feel special too. We briefly met Anatari in the gym showers and as she was doing her job she took the time to get to know us. Although we didn’t have a lot of time with her we couldn’t help but like her and she definitely made an impression.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Satisfied with the cleanliness of the ship no complaints

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was small but cozy. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The balcony has spoiled me and I don’t think I can cruise without one ever again.

Ship tip

Try the chefs table as it is an experience in cuisine like no other. If you have multiple people in one cabin and little time for everyone to shower you can visit the gym shower and make your dinner on time. Drink, relax, and have the time of your life.

Ports of call

New Orleans, Louisiana

Cozumel, Mexico

Beautiful!!! We went did the Tulum & Cenote excursion and had the very best guide Martin! He was knowledgeable and so thoughtful packing a snack for our bus ride. I hope to have him as my guide in the future because he had it together and allowed us to do so many things in so little time. Everything was bueno!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was as smooth as embarkation! No complaints and we were out and waiting for our ride in no time.
