Review summary

Entertainment - Musicians excellent except for the country duo, really terrible. Best piano bar entertainer - Roger. Shows good with lots of energy but choreography hit or miss and performers good but not up to Princess or Holland America standard. Food much better than last Carnival cruise last summer - Carnival continues to come back.

Love this cabin - 2 large windows and plenty of space - room for exercising or dancing. Bed faces the windows so we see the sea when awakening.

Ship tip

Enjoy

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5

This was embarkation port - no excursion. The reason for my 3 star rating is just the distance from the airport and lack of many types of transport. We opted to drive from NC rather than deal with it and we normally saty away from booking any cruise from this port. That said, the best embarkation and debarkation staff we have ever had - totally organized and pleasant!!

No excursion. We walked through the city, stopped for some great music, and just enjoyed thr beauty of the town. Once again, been here many times so we don't usually redo excursions.
