Review summary

This was our first cruise & being so we totally enjoyed our experience! There was a few things that would have made it a bit more enjoy but considering circumstances, our staff; Nyoman, Schwartz and most of the lido deck workers made up for the rest lacking ! We enjoyed all the extra activities provided for entertainment creating memories & laughs! We have been more than WOWED on this vacation Thank you carnival for such a great vacation!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We have a 6yr old and a 1yr old ! It was a bit tough through the day not being able to use the child care during the day with a 1yr old ! Onboard activities were very accommodating and fun otherwise! My 6 yr old enjoyed all other activities! We did the ropes coarse, water park,mini golf and indoor club & arcade !

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
I have a 1 yr old ! He couldn’t attend but only certain times of the day(7am-10am& 10pm-1qm) which made it difficult for certain activities for adults and my 6yr old ! My daughter, 6yrs old enjoyed the kids camp but wished there were more kid friendly activities going in during camp, not just board games. Not very pleased with the kids camp! Seemed like it was not very equipped for kids younger than 2?! We made it work despite the issues. Just wish kids camp was a little more accommodating!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service from food & bar & room service was absolutely amazing !!!!!!!!!!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
So clean and the design and layout were easy and accessible!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was big enough for a family of 4! My husband and I and our 2 children had enough room to accommodate all of us ! Daily our room service team took great care of us and made sure daily we came back to a clean room !

Ship tip

Purchase the alcohol package, without drinks are WAY to expensive. Also child care for under 2 children is difficult to manage on this specific ship. Not many KID friendly activities for younger kids. Great time otherwise !

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
No excursion

Cozumel, Mexico

Locals to pushy on taxi rides to local beaches, made it slightly uncomfortable even riding in shuttle to beach ! Slightly good time while spent looking at local shops otherwise

Disembarkation
