Review summary

This marks my eighth cruise, and I would like to thank Tonya Lockhart for making all of this happen. She was so thorough, professional, and very knowledgeable, and very patient and kind! Thanks Tonya! Overall I strike it as a successful and an enjoyable experience that will last a life time. I will always choose an experience over inanimate objects, such as cars, things that I cannot afford. My experiences over time, no one can ever take those things away. They will forever be in my memory.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our main dining room staff is what made the our cruise successful. Made which is pronounced Mawday was our head table waiter and his assistance were Agus and Jane were super great every night. You want to talk about how hard they work and still find time to entertain us while serving everyone, all the while maintaining a heart warming smile. They definitely made the cruise an experience of a life time.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
miniature golf was fun, shuffle board, and the live band at the Limelight lounge were great performer's There were activities for every genre of personality. The comedy club was very good as well.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
This was one thing that was different on this cruise. All my previous cruises, I was accustomed to the Broad way show performances after dinner. Did not see any on this cruise. Bummer.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I sort of answered this question on my cruise experience question, so I will say again the staff was impeccable and went beyond the service expectation

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I'm so used to the lay out of the previous models to where the doors on the Lido deck on the atrium were on the fourth floor to where you could exit on deck under the life boats and the lounge chairs were available. This time deck five was that area as well as deck ten where all of the eateries were and the pools were. Just had to adjust to the changes.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I felt that the closet space was a lot more smaller than that of the Glory, The victory, the Valor and so. But our cabin steward Josefine always kept our cabin spotless and towel animals she made every night was indeed remarkable.

Ship tip

Just take advantage of all that she offers and have the most enjoyable time as one can have.

The visit to stingray city was the highlight of my cruise. This makes my third trip to Grand Cayman island, and I finally got to experience this amazing tour. plus the tour of the turtle farm and swim with the turtles.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
We had booked the Atlantis submarine tour excursion but unfortunately it got cancelled due to inclement weather, so we took a bus tour through out the island and went to the beach resort.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This was the fastest disembarkation I have ever experienced. Kudos to the staff of Carnival for the off loading of their passengers.
