Review summary

Best ever! Our Facebook group made it a special time. I made new friends. Just a great experience!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I got right on the ship even though I showed up a little early due to the weather. Carnival has vastly improved the boarding process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I love the MDR! Always a pleasant experience and the food was good. I went to the Italian restaurant twice at lunch. I love the pasta bar!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Too much to do and I didn’t get everything done I wanted to. It just means I’ll need to go again! I spent a good deal of time in the spa and that was awesome!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Enjoyed all the shows I went to. Amazing performers!

Service and Staff

Always had good service. Room steward was fantastic!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The layout of the ship is not as smooth as others. The elevator situation is not good but workable. There were only two elevators that went up to my deck.

Galveston, Texas

Went to The Spot. It’s a popular place to go. The food was good but otherwise not impressed.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
I did the Dolphin Encounter! It was a unique experience. I loved it!! I didn’t see much of the port because it started raining after playing with the dolphins so I went back to the ship.

Belize City, Belize Did not visit port

Wanted some down time. So I spent a relaxing day on the ship!

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I love Cozumel! It’s my favorite port! I did History of Mexico tour. It was cheap and very informative.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
It was slow. There was a problem with customs so it wasn’t all Carnival’s fault. Here’s where the elevator’s were an issue. Only two elevators for our deck and one was blocked off for service and maintenance people. We waited an hour by the elevator. We were just looking to get to a lower deck but they directed us into the line to get off the ship when we got off the elevator and it was fairly smooth if not fast from there. We ended up getting off before our deck was called.

How crowded was the ship when you were in Belize? We are cruising in July and decided to stay on the ship in Belize since we’ve been there before.
