Girls cruise- first cruise since Covid began. Carnival is on top of cleaning. First cruise for best friend- my second without my husband. Always felt safe even in port.

Scheduled for 11-11:30. Parked and inside terminal at 10:45. On the boat by 11:30😊never had to sit and wait.

Ship experiences

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Constant activities- only problem we had was quite a few overlapped. Decisions, decisions

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows were great!! Loved the violinists as well.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always enjoy being called by name. Dining staff, room steward, even the jewelry shopping expert knew the two of us by name. He gladly met us in port and help us get the best deals on jewelry and watches. Julian has the best personality

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Constant staff out wiping off chairs to handrails which is great with Covid.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Great cabin , right off the elevators. Was concerned it might be noisy but wasn’t at all. Enjoyed the balcony- could see the bridge and staff from our balcony- if they saw us they always waved 😁

Ship tip

Enjoy and go on board without set expectations! With Covid ongoing take plenty of disposable masks. We changed frequently throughout the day.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Love Cozumel. No excursions- shopping only. Masks are required at all times in Cozumel- indoors and out.

New Orleans, Louisiana

5 out of 5
This is our favorite post to board-primarily due the ease of parking and boarding

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Self debarkation by Muster station is the best idea! We were in D and were off the boat and in our car by 8:35am! Way to go Carnival and Customs🎉
