Review summary

Enjoyed my first cruise looking forward to trying other ships and new ports. We didn't do any excursions but, I did enjoy getting out and doing the ports our self. Next time going to these same places I would like to try a guided tour or excursion just to see things we may have missed.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Was simple and wasn't standing in long lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The drinks was amazing!! The food on the other hand wasn't good at all I would rather have Golden Corral. The breakfast was the worst finally just started eating pizza. The pizza was the best thing on board. The main dining rooms was nice and staff was great but, the food had no flavor and a few times over cooked chicken. Also, disappointed in the hours of the buffets they seemed closed during hours they should be open therefore making long lines on for the pizza and sandwiches.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Loved all the activities to do they was well planned and fun to attend.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Heard a few of the bands just moving along ship and they seemed very good. The comedy club was awesome!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was great!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Took us a while to figure out how to get to front of the ship as I believe only 1 floor took you over to it then. Took us a while and late to dinner to figure it out. Wish they would have gave you ship maps on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Was very comfortable and easy to access close to all activities.

Ship tip

This was my first cruise and I did enjoy it. We are looking at cruises for next year but, think it will be on another ship besides Carnival. Just seems like there was a lot of families traveling in large groups which would take over pools, hot tubs, eating areas etc. Also, so disappointed in the food have heard the same problems from others on Carnival so excited to try another line.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Easy access and no issues.

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
Had to park on Navy base and ride tram into town and back to ship. Was long long and had to wait quit a while to get tram to get back to ship. They use to port closer to Duval Street which made it much easier.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Easy to get in and out of ship. Just rented a jeep and went out for the day by ourselves. Had great time.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We decided to get all are luggage into two bags so was able to go to the early release. Was off the ship and out of terminal in no time.
