Review summary

Food was good- -would like to see more up to date movies and a changing schedule in the theatre. There was one movie PG all week and one R movie - which wasn't a very good one. We are owed a credit of $150 for a prior cancellation, but we have been unable to get satisfaction from Carnival. Supposedly we are supposed to apply it to a future cruise on Carnival- we do not see that we are going to do this and want our money refunded!

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Dining room was fine. We didn't use the specialty restaurants. Buffet had more seats available that on prior cruises, but is crowded as usual

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Fitness center is fine. Like the Trivia games, but was unable to make more than one, due to them being held when we were in port.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
We went to comedians. The PG shows were fine and funny. Went to one R rated - it was strictly toilet talk. That is not enjoyable at all!!! The Cruise Director was very amusing. Only went to one show in main theatre - VERY LOUD.

Children's Programs

did not participate in kids shows

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Room stewart was excellent. I. Make Waiter was very good -

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was very nice. I think it is dangerous to have people strolling all over the place with cocktail glasses - in and out of halls, elevators, etc. If someone trips or spills something, it is a recipe for disaster.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had plenty of room in the cabin, as well as a balcony that we could sit out on. We are neat people, so basically we make it easy to be cared for. Stewart did a good job

Ship tip

Its loud and noisy and crowded - if you're ok with that, go for it.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

We embarked there

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

3 out of 5
We took chair lift thru rain forest. The hummingbird garden and butterfly garden leave much to be desired. Think that the price should include the bobsled, instead of charging an extra $22 for the privilege of standing on an additional line for an hour. The gift shop was good.

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
Georgetown is very nice. Took an outing with Captain Marvin to Stingray City. Think we got our moneys worth, altho missed lunch that day

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
We walked around and bought a few souvenirs in the craft shop

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were off the ship and on our way home by 9:00 am
