Review summary

It is a party every day on the sea. Great people that quickly become friends/family. Never a dull moment with an endless amount of activities or simply lounging in the pool, hot tub , or sunbathing on deck. Food, Food, Food is everywhere and I enjoyed it with my Cheers beverage pack. I will definitely join Carnival on a Cruise every year!

Noli my stateroom steward was very attentive and always available if needed. Wonderful service. Freddy was our nightly waiter for family dinner and once again he never disappointed and was full of recommendations.

Cabin / Stateroom

Only less than desirable in the room was that we had two twin beds pushed together which was difficult to get comfortable if you were on the crack.

Ship tip

Take this trip and prepare to have a ball and don't forget to purchase the drink package , it's a must if you like alcohol.

We had an excursion booked through carnival that the team at the port had us wait for pick up that never showed...because we were suppose to take the shuttles we watched for an hour to downtown Key West Aquarium to go Parasailing. It was very disappointing as we had looked forward to this excursion. Thus, by the time the staff figured it out we arrived at the departure too late along with another couple in the same situation. It was our first cruise and we thought we could ask any carnival staff but we were told we should only come to the excursion booth for direction . It was a fail as we approached the team that was directing cruisers to their locations and did not know to do anything differently. I definitely did not like how they tried to blame the four couples for missing the excursion. Lesson: Read your tickets and talk to shore excursions the day before the excursion so you are prepared to make your arrangements to the excursion departure location.

Great excursion with snorkeling, buggy ride around Cozumel and tour of Mayan temple. This was booked outside of Carnival and we made it. I would definitely only recommend a longer duration of Snorkeling, which was amazing.
