Review summary

I was exceptional because our last cruise was with Royal Caribeann and the ship was almost double the size of the Carnival, let me tell you, they have so many activities and the food is so good that I stop comparing and enjoyed every single day, no space to boredom, I want to give special recognition to MarcQ, he is the cruise director and he is the SOUL of that ship, all I have to say.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was fast and no issues. You just have to be there at your time frame so you don't have a long wait

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All dining locations were always clean, even the lido which is the busiest. We enjoyed a lot the breakfast at Canal Grande, good was pretty good and excellent service. And better yet, is complimentary, so nothing extra out of pocket except for some healthy juices. You have to book your time but that also moves fast.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We used the fitness center, and my son used the basketball court. Excellent amenities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
It was live music almost all the time at different places in the ship, all of them pretty pleasant. And all the shows they presented at the Rozzo Teather were outstanding!!!! We didn't miss a single one.

Children's Programs

My son is 12 years old, I did sign him up but he was busy at the basketball court plus all activities we were in he also could attend.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Outstanding! That is the rate I give to Wayan, my room steward, he kept out room clean and neat every single day. Then same rate to Gede, Putu and Jordan, they took care of us on our dinners and memorized our names and drink preferences since day 1. Thanks a lot to you guys for your service and kindness.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean all the time, you could see people cleaning 24/7.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
First time I booked balcony and I can say it is worth it. The view that you have as soon as you wake up is priceless, them add all thee extra space comes with it. It is going to be hard to go back to regular room.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We booked excursion when we were in the port, only $35 per person and they took us to town, places of interest and then took us to a beach called playa Dorada, the people over there was too friendly and respectful, food was not included but gave us the room to chose ours and it was delicious!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
We couldn't enjoy the beach because was full of mini jellyfishes, but that opened us to book in the port an excursion and it was really nice.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
The beach was the best! We didn't need to do any excursion, just make sure you choose the shuttle time really early so you can pick good spots for the chairs.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No issues at all.
