This was a great last minute trip, I booked thr cruise one week before sail date. Everyone on board was friendly the weather held up great although the tropical storm hit Mexico the day before we arrived everything was nice and clean .
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Are usually like boarding as early as possible. This time I showed up One hour before sale time, that was really cutting it close. I was on board within 10 minutes
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The dining rooms were great specially the Atlantic room, lower level. Wait staff were excellent ,views are beautiful. except for the upper level of the Atlantic dining room there are no windows and it's kind of dark up there.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The factory is an older ship with lots of beautiful upgrades, but with only one main pool it's always crowded there. The stage shows for entertaining and colorful.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The stage shows were colorful and entertaining. That was one Latin performer but he was assigned to a small room at the rear of the ship, possibly deck four. The set up is much nicer on the Carnival sunshine which has a Havana café .
Children's Programs
The kids did not come along on this trip
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The wait staff were excellent. Everyone on board was friendly and courteous from the time we boarded until the day we left .
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was very clean and well-maintained at all times, especially considering there were some "urban kids" on board who were always making a big mess on the ship .
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Betting was comfortable and the cabin was kept very clean, but this is an older ship with older designs .
Key West is it nice enough port to visit. The dock is actually in a military base so there are a lot of restrictions for getting on and off the ship, such as no picture taking. I went on a para sailing excursion which was lots of fun. But you are only in port for a few hours so you won't get to see much of Key West.
Cozumel Mexico is very nice. I booked a excursion on the mainland of Mexico, which is accessible by a 45 minute ferry ride. If you book an excursion on the mainland you are going to have a very rushed day because of the time wasted up by the ferry ride and probably a bus ride once you get to the mainland ,it is better to book an excursion in Cozumel.
