Review summary

Food was not what we have had on our other cruises except in the specialty restaurants. Buffet was “mundane, monotonous, the same thing” everyday. Fruits were not the quality or taste that I can purchase in NW Missouri. Disappointed in food. We did have a relaxing time and seas were calm.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship layout made it difficult to get around. Cleanliness was good.

Cabin / Stateroom

This was our first time for a balcony room. Enjoyed this amenity and the increased size of the room.

Ship tip

Don’t overpack. It is a party ship, but there are places you can get away from the crowd.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5
Port was fine, enjoyed the “Give Back Tour” to the real Jamaica.

George Town, Grand Cayman Did not visit port

We had been there before and it was raining. Enjoyed our balcony room.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Port was fine, with so many cruise ships docked there it made us feel like cattle going through the shopping area. We did a resortforaday nearby, 10 minute walk from ship. Did some shopping. Best snorkeling ever at this location.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Delayed for various reasons. Luggage was misplaced by Carnival. Flow at port was chaotic.
