Review summary

Cruise was good. Calm seas for the most part. Layout of the ship was odd and difficult to get used to.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food wasn't as good as it used to be on Carnival.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Watched a movie on the outside big screen once -- it kept being interrupted by announcements which was very annoying.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Only witnessed one performance by a two-man country group. They were pretty good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff were friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship's layout was weird, not at all like other Carnival ships. Bathrooms were hard to find.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Same as any other balcony cabin we have had in the past -- comfortable and clean. However, we did not get the Carnival pins or the special chocolate strawberries that Platinum guests were supposed to get.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Platinum and Diamond guests waited in the restaurant until ship was cleared, so that was good in that we got to debark first.

We were on this sailing as well. Your pins, gifts, water and strawberries are no longer delivered to your cabin (haven’t been since the restart). You must pick up your pins and gifts at pixels. You need to call room service for your strawberries and get the water from any bar. This information is available via the QR code in your cabin. Sorry you were unaware of the current procedure.
