I like Carnival Cruise because I’m a loner and this cruise allows me to check a 100 things out, do excursions, karaoke, dance, and rest in peaceful bliss when tired. People are people, so I don’t expect anything more, and so I am happy when surprised.
Embarkation

Tiring. No one asked about my luggage, and I had got there early.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
I did the drink package and everything went smoothly. I don’t recommend The Alchemy Bar, but The Blue Iguana is wonderful. Bottle water at every meal was welcome surprise.
Room Service
3 out of 5
Pretty good selection for white people. I’m Caribbean, so I made due
Alchemy Bar
1 out of 5
Server was unfriendly and took forever even though there was only me and this one other guy. I’m pretty shy, so I don’t know how I deserved to be treated with such disregard.
Eagles Aft Lounge
5 out of 5
This is my comedy hour drink area. Some lol and some alcohol to mix it up! Zany Zombie is ok but Screw Loose is gross! Yuck!
BlueIguana Cantina
5 out of 5
Everyone here is super nice and attentive. I always go to Cantina for my vacation drinks lol
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
For once, I want some real adult games, that are not including teens who are dependent on mommy and daddy for the trip.
Serenity
3 out of 5
The Serenity Spa is a great idea except teens try to take it over. I love the adults only hot tubs.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
I like the Caribbean deejays who kept the music going no matter how goofy people became.

Very clean
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It was comfy. I was expecting a bunk bed because of the picture, but I got this little quiet alcove. If there is a little alcove room with a balcony I would love to know about it.
Ship tip
Even if you order early for the excursion they can cancel at any time. So have a plan b, c, and d
Lots of photo ops. I did the Blue Hole Cenote excursion and it was AWESOME!!!!! The journey was so worth it. Beautiful and eerie and sacred all in one.
There are a lot of typical places to shop, but I could care less about that part. It’s all about the artwork and the adventure here! Check out as much as you can. Bring sunscreen and DEET based insect repellent, but be warned if you do excursions in sacred sites, you will have to remove it. There are hornets, black and white wasps, biting flies, and really cool looking ants the further out you go.
Very friendly and colorful. Bell shaped jellyfish in the water.
There are a lot of different foods to whet your appetite or completely fill it. Shrimp escabiche is delicious, but like ceviche can be... a curse from the gods. Lol if you get what I mean. Anything with El Jimador is going to keep the party going. Tequila and Squirt in a ceramic mug is wonderful!
