Review summary

We have three daughters and a son. Our three daughters ages 22,22 (twins) and 26 had just graduated from college and our son age 24 had earned some awards in the Navy so we were celebrating. We had rooms on different floors which I arranged on purpose. We all had great celebrations together and separately. Carnival thank you for a great time!

Embarkation

My daughter left her passport in her luggage and we almost did not get it resolved in time. The staff was A#1 great about the whole situation. My parents where still in town and they were able to get to my house and get a picture of her birth certificate to send to us.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The whole experience was great. No complaints. Our steward was super nice and our room was always in tip top shape. The food and entertainment was wonderful. We did not have enough time in Cozumel. I wish the port time was longer!!! The Isla Passion excursion was superb!

Washington Dining Room

The waiters were personable and accommodating. The food was yummy and the waiters entertainment on the last night was sooooo much fun!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pool and lounge time was great. Movie time and the big dance on the deck was a lot of fun. Bingo was not long enough and a little too expensive. The shows were very good. The comedy club was too crowded, they should add another show.

Confusing, it almost ruined our trip. As far as getting our car and knowing where to pick up the rest of our group. My adult daughter bought some adult beverages in Cozumel she was taken to another area and we did not know where because her phone was not charged.
