Review summary

Very sorry that Carnival has decided to reposition this ship to Florida like Florida needs another carnival ship. This ship from my understanding was supposed to stay in the New York City port. But the good part is we have MSC that is staying in New York year-round and the ship is beautiful

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Too many times to have to show your booking confirmation 4 to 5 times is just too much

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The specialty Italian restaurant was excellent the buffet I give that pretty high points, but the main dining needs a lot of work. The food just was not good and on my next cruise I’m going to try to avoid going to the main dining.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The activities on the boat was great, but I miss the cruise Director Mark Q

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The fun squad board on the fun, but I still miss Mark Q

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
The kids area on this ship needs a lot of work, especially the waterpark for small children. They just don’t have much of anything there. I would not recommend this boat for people with children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I loved my cove balcony. I would get that again. It was just perfect.

Ship tip

Not a good boat if you’re looking to get a tan or bringing children on board

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
I think people are just tired of going to this port. They have done a lot of improvements, but people just tired of going there.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

1 out of 5
We couldn’t make it at this stop because it was a tender site and the weather just would not permit

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
This is my first time at grand Turk. It was very pretty. The only thing that could’ve made it better is if they had a place where you could stamp your passport like they used to.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
I truly enjoyed my excursion. I learned a lot about the DR.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I carried off my luggage. It was fast and wonderful.
