Review summary

The serenity deck is right next to the water slide and all the loud music from the lido deck. Not much serenity to have on this ship but if you are looking for a party ship...this one is it!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Fast! But boring. No pools open on the lido so we sat for 2 hours before they let us go anywhere to explore on the ship.

Onboard Activities

Nothing special. Same shopping, casino, entertainment, etc as on other carnival cruise ships

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Their live band for the shows created a really great experience. Just didn't like some of the inappropriate costumes and dancing. Definitely don't take your kids to the shows with you.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5
Not many crew members took the time to know our names like I am accustomed to. Also, we were talked down to by the fitness and spa staff because we didn't want to buy their package deal.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
They were always cleaning! So much that the pools were almost always being drained out and cleaned.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Not many outlets but it was roomier than other ships I've been on. Good lighting too!

Ship tip

Since it is loud and busy everywhere...you can find serenity on the third floor outside. No one knows you can go there. Only quiet place on the ship.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Definitely do an excursion if you've never been there before. It was too hard to navigate on our own. It is a big city...spread out...don't try to walk it.

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5
We will go back! Went on the Hemingway tour. Saw and hear about so much more than that by just walking.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Took the jeep and snorkeling tour. Our tour guide was awesome and we learned a lot but it doesn't have the wow factor of wanting to return to the city.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast! A little confusing if trying to do express exit but it was so fast anyway.

It’s definitely a party boat. People next to us party like rock stars.
