Review summary

- In General, nice staff on ship - EXCELLENT Dining staff - Islands were incredible, would love to go back to all of them except St. Lucia, beach was disappointing but I will stay positive and say perhaps I did not go to the right one. - Mark Q was an excellent cruise director - Weather for March was unbelievable, just fantastic! - Burgers at Guy Fieri were insanely delish!! - My favorite thing about the Venezia is that we never spent more than 5 minutes in any line for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our waiter, CHARLIE at The Marco Polo Rest, made our dinner the best part of each and every single day. He was amazing, the best waiter I have ever had on any cruise line. Thank you Charlie for going above and beyond, Carnival is so lucky to have you.

Wish the room was a little bigger, bathroom was really lacking space.

St Lucia is easily the best island in all of the carribean. The pitons and the beach between them alone surpass anything. The mud baths, the scenery. With a proper private day tour, it's impossible to beat.

Give St Lucia another try. We like the island. Maybe do something other than beach, if you didn't care for them. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
