Review summary

I will definitely be cruising again with Carnival. I did not have one bad experience on this ship! The staff was courteous, the ship was clean, and there were so many activities to choose from!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick and easy with Faster To the Fun. Much easier than I anticipated.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was excellent in the Washington and there were many selections on the buffet. The drinks in the Eagles Lounge were very good!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The pool & hot tubs on the Lido deck were always clean and very relaxing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We watched NFL football games and movies on the big screen! We also went to the comedy show in the Eagles Lounge!

Children's Programs

No children traveling with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiter in the Washington was over the top attentive. Very friendly and courteous. Our room steward made sure our room remained clean and left a cute note on our anniversary and left towel animals for us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All of the areas were clean and always maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I think the cabin was just the right size for two people. Not too small, not too big.

Ship tip

Purchase Faster To the Fun. So many perks!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
We didn't visit the port, but it was the port for embarkation. We drove in the night before and are at Bubba Gump Shrimp. Highly recommend!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel was beautiful. Lots of opportunities to shop and the people are so nice!

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
We dis not do an excursion but did eat at a fabulous little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that had the best authentic Mexican food and had margaritas 2/ $5 and they were the best I've ever had!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was just as easy as embarkation with Faster To the Fun!
