Review summary

This ship is huge!   The only time it was congested was when waiting for the Comedy Club and getting off and on the ship.  I stayed in the Havana Cabana room, so I didn't have to hunt for a beach chair on deck during sea days.  There is plenty to keep you busy.  The sky rider was a little scary being so high!  The ports were amazing!  Booked excursions at each port from Carnival and they were easy to find and not over crowded and enjoyable; except for the Jeep in Aruba, but that was our driver and when we were dropped off at the beach, we had access to a beach chair for $7 (for 30 minutes).  So we chose not to purchase them.  We did the Sunset Cruise that was amazing!  We were at the beach for a while and was provided with chairs and a drink.  The employees work hard to make sure that you have an amazing time!

Love having a smaller group of people in the pool and whirlpools. The bar and entertainment was nice as well at the comfortable seating.

Snorkeling was amazing! Saw sea turtle and stingray and of course fish. Used the power scooters so you weren't tired even though the sea was rough. Great tour guides.

Sunset Cruise was very good. They made sure we had chairs on the beach where we wanted (sun or shade). Nice beach to swim and walk on.

Oranjestad, Aruba

Jeep ride was okay. Wouldn't do it again. Our drivers scared 6 out of 8 people in our jeep even after being told to watch where he was going. His door flew open and he missed a turn and had to back up.
