Review summary

Quite relaxing! I have already booked our next cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Had FTTF and it worth it. We were able to go straight to our cabin to drop off our carry on bags and then to Guy's Burgers. I already have booked FTTF for my next cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Way too much food!!! Too much food and not enough time to enjoy it all. I ended up having a breakfast burrito most mornings from the Blue Iguana. We really didn't have a bad meal. We enjoyed the MDR most evenings and tried foods we would never have tried otherwise.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The fitness center was wonderful and never crowded

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We tried to go to all of the evening shows. The 70's and 80's shows were wonderful. The country show just wasn't for us. Also, the PG comedy shows were really funny. We didn't enjoy the adult show as much.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Couldn't say enough about how amazing the staff was.

Ship tip

The layout can be a little confusing. I would recommend taking a tour of the ship on the first day. It will save you time later!

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the Mayan ruins, lazy river, and cenote excursion. This was my husband's favorite day. Even though the bus ride was a little long it was worth it. Highly recommend!!!!

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
Walking was the best way to get around. The muffuletta sandwich from Central Grocery was the food highlight!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Mr. Sancho's beach was beautiful and we enjoyed the food. We will return the next time we are in Cozumel. Even though this wasn't a Carnival excursion I would highly recommend. The taxi stand is easy to find and very straight forward.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
FTTF is definitely worth it for disembarkation! We were off the ship quickly and beat the craziness of the traffic of the port!
