Review summary

It was relaxing & a great start to “summer” here in Texas.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The lines were long, but moved steadily & easily.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Great food, always something tasty to choose from.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Loved the spa, and the pools. The putt-putt golf was a great touch too.

Relax Room

5 out of 5

Peaceful & quiet. Worth the extra expense of the spa access package.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The adults-only comedy shows were hysterical!! The music was good. I especially enjoyed the steel drum music that was played throughout the day.

Carnival's Seaside Theatre

3 out of 5

Great movie selection. But one of the movies was cut off about 15 mins from the end and it was never remedied. Which was frustrating.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Friendly & very helpful. This is a huge ship with a lot of cruisers and even the wait-staff remembered our names.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The only thing I felt was lacking was an adult only swimming pool.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

For two people, it was plenty of space. But we could have used a forth drawer in the wardrobe.

Ship tip

If you don’t have kids, and want a quiet atmosphere around your room; book on the spa level or Havana club. Very quiet & peaceful.

George Town, Grand Cayman

LOVE CAYMAN!! But it is my home away from home. I got to visit friends that I hadn’t seen in a while and introduce my partner to my second home and the graceful stingrays. Stingray City is a must even if you’ve been here a million times.

Thumbs Up 5

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

Little did I know that the tour I booked was a private tour. Our driver was so informative- it was great! It was a fantastic value!

Disembarkation

A little frustrating and confusing- but once our deck was called, it was a quick process.
