Review summary

Overall...one of the BEST Carnival Cruises we have been on ( this was our 11th) Ship was very clean, food was typical (just fine) Our dining staff made the cruise. I would recommend an Ocean Suite..was very roomy and location on the boat was great!!!

Embarkation

A must on the Victory...Nikola, Ivona and Viktor were amazing....they will custom make a drnk for you based on what you like...the Orange peel flame technique is really cool!!!

Pretty typical Carnival Fun....we like going to the pool..lot of action....I wish pool was bigger and layout was a little better but no big deal.

Very cool port..easy on and off the boat. We rented a 6 passenger golf cart and toured on our own. Went to the furthest south point and drove through the cemetery..very cool

Cozumel, Mexico

Not a fan...went to A beach that Carnival called the "Frankie Special"....DON'T GO!! was horrible..beach and water full of HUGE rocks...very unsafe to get in and out of water....people snorkeling all in the same spot..kicking each other and bobbing around like the last seen in Titanic...was awful
