Review summary

It was a great break from the Polar Vortex that a lot of the country was experiencing while we were gone. It was a perfect time to go and Carnival was so good to us!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We actually checked in at the airport, got right on the ship ( no waiting in line) and were able to get into our room after enjoying lunch on the lido deck and walking around the ship and ALL of our bags were waiting on us! That has never happened to me!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Excellent service and the staff is always so happy and friendly. The food...what can I say...excellent!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We tried a little of all of what the ship had to offer. They only had one production show during our cruise which was unusual and they had it on the last night and had to cancel one of the show times. I love watching the shows, so I was a little disappointed but we did get to go to the one they had and it was really good. I think if I had been a first time cruiser, it would have been a let down. We hit all the deck parties and played Bingo, tried out different trivia games, bars, etc

Entertainment

4 out of 5
See my comment on the activities. The DJ was great. The music was really good too, a little too much steel drum time for my taste. A little goes a long way. Seems like that entertainer was always playing. He was very talented though.

Children's Programs

no kids with us

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

We just flew into Miami and went to ship

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
KeyWest is beautiful. We were only in Key West from 7-1 and it was a weird time, I thought. It is beautiful and I have been there previously, so I didn't think I was missing anything by being there so early in the morning, but if I had not been there before, I would have wanted a different time to visit.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
So much fun and the weather was perfect. I highly recommend the Catamaran snorkel and beach break on Fury Beach....it was great!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This was the part i usually dread the most. It is always a cluster. We were up on the lido deck until our zone was called and then we walked right off. No waiting on an elevator, no lines, nothing. I don't know how that happened, but I am grateful for that!
