Review summary

It is hard to choose a favorite part. We loved it all and really have no complaints. The ship is beautiful and amazingly huge. We loved the variety of choices for food and entertainment. We were treated so well, we felt like royalty. We did not have small children on the trip but will tell our 5 adult kids about the fantastic programs available for the children. We hope to do a family cruise in the future.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The breakfast buffet was very good. The fresh fruit was delicious. Personally, because I am allergic to milk, I would enjoy having almond milk available. Many of the desserts were milk based as well. Most of of the food was very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

They were all exceptionally accommodating and friendly. They really made us feel special. Roberto was an awesome steward. He was so eager to take care of all our needs. Room service was also a very nice feature.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

We used Know Jamaica tours. Troy was a great tour guide. He held our safety as his responsibility and gave good advice on the best features to visit. Dunn River Falls was a blast.

The sand and water was gorgeous. Food was over priced. The tour was boring.

The Passion Isle excursion was really nice. Miguel and Leo made the trip really fun. We had no time to shop which was very disappointing

We've cruised out of Miami and found embarkation/disembarkation an issue. Haven't been back to Jamaica for a while but loved it each time. Never tried Carnival.
