Review summary

This was my first cruise and I took my 6 year old daughter with me. This was hands down the best vacation I have ever taken. You definitely get your money's worth.

The customer service from all of the crew was the best I have aver experienced. We had a server in the Washington dinning room who made my daughter feel like the most inportant person on the whole ship. I don't know his full name but he told my daughter to just call him Zee. He was an amazing server and so kind and friendly.

I am am already planning on going on another cruise with carnival next year. Definitely will be recommending this to everyone I know!

Our steward was so great. My daughter looked forward to all the different towel animals every evening.

Ship tip

Definitely be sure to check out all the shows in the Ivanhoe Theater. They were amazing and the performers are so talented.

Bonine worked for me and my two teenage sons last year. No drowsiness at all. Take one every morning. You can get it at CVS or Walmart.

Oh gosh no! You feel completely normal with them on. I've actually heard that they are better than the prescription patches. I heard the prescription ones will make you sleepy. The ones from amazon didn't do that all.

It probably wouldn't hurt to get some since it is your first cruise. I put one on as soon as I got on the ship. It will help prevent you from getting sick as well as relieve any sickness.

There were a couple days when I could kinda feel the water while on the boat but it wasn't bad at all. I went on amazon and ordered some motion sickness patches that worked well for my daughter and me. It had 10 patches in it and it was only $5.

I'm from Oklahoma and drove myself. The parking is safe. You can even pay for your parking online and I think you get a $5 discount.
