Review summary

It was ok but I’ll definitely never cruise out of Nola again. Ship was ok decor wise, but it was clean. Food was mediocre with the exception of the steak from the steakhouse which was phenomenal. Cozumel was beautiful and I truly enjoyed our time there.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Being left stuck out in the heat with hundreds of others and in a chaotic environment is less than stellar. First and last time cruising out of Nola. Port staff is completely rude and unorganized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food quality and choices started out fantastic but dwindled as the week went by. But that’s typical with carnival so no surprise there.

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

1 out of 5
Not sure why carnival even goes here. It’s a commercial port and it’s dangerous. We didn’t disembark and neither did over half the ship.

New Orleans, Louisiana

1 out of 5
Nasty and hard to navigate

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen thus far.
