Ship Quality

Always saw crew members cleaning and tidying up.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Plenty of room. Loved our lanai. Walked right out the back to the private Havana area. Worth every bit of extra $$$. The wait staff for the bar were excellent and friendly. Can't say enough about how we loved the whole Havana experience. Already booked Christmas week of 2020 in a Havana Cabana.

Ship tip

This is definitely a different layout as far as the center atrium area and elevators. Just adjust and enjoy. Can't wait for next December on Vista. P.S. we are sailing on the Carnival Magic out of Miami on June 6th for an 8 day Southern Carribean with my brother and his wife. Super excited . We have an Oven View room.

Montego Bay, Jamaica

5 out of 5
We went on an excursion to a large resort. It was very nice. Lots of pool areas and beach area. Ate jerk chicken and pork included and drank daquaris. Nice place. Lots of people. Several areas to relax

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
The usual for us as we need wheelchair assistance to leave. Slow but steady. We are never in a hurry. Have a sit down breakfast. We were off by 10:30. Traffic is always a mess as we live 2 hours north of Galveston in Magnolia Texas
