Review summary

It was okay. I was very disappointed with our cabin and how they really didn’t accommodate us for the inconvenience and bad experience.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very fast process. Arrived at my check in time and the process was fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The main dining room sometimes served the same food that was in market place. Sometimes the food was bland and sometimes it was great.

Ship Quality

I love how there is someone always cleaning on Carnival Ships. They do a great job and work very hard to keep the ship clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
I arrived to my cabin at 1:30 and immediately smelled mildew. I met my room steward Dennis who initially told me that the room was supposed to smell like that. I told him that I disagreed and he told me that he would have the room sanitized again. I removed my shoes and felt wet carpet. I told Dennis and he assessed the room and saw that the entire right side of the room carpet was soak and wet. There was a busted pipe outside the stateroom. They had to fix the pipe, dry the carpet and attempt to remove the mildew odor with a machine. The smell was removed temporarily but we smelled it our entire 6 days.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
The beach is beautiful but the food can be better. You have to use your sail & sign card to get drinks and if you purchased the drink package, you are charged for the expensive drinks, they don’t go towards the drink package you purchased

Grand Turk Island

We did the 2 hour ATV excursion. It was amazing.
