Review summary

Everything was really good, happy to be back on the water. It is only sailing 60%~70% right now to really nice to be on the ship with so much room. Lots of open space, lots to do, nice to be on a new ship. Only problem areas are the bathrooms in the room have shrunk, the casino is way too crowded even at 70% capacity and the same for the lido deck, pools, and comedy lounges. Even at 70% capacity those areas were just over packed so at 100% capacity those are not going to be enjoyable areas at the busy times.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

To a of places to eat and drink. You have to have a schedule or you will not get to them all.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

They really have lots of things going on, many different areas to find live music or shows. None of them seem crowed except the comedy lounges.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Same as above, plenty of things to do and see and the comedy lounges were the only one that were over crowded

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

One of the few negatives. For some reason they shrunk the bathrooms and everyone onboard said the same thing. The room are also a bit smaller but no big deal but the bathroom was a big deal. Not sure why they did that.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

A lot of the current carnival cruises are premier, ultra and elite.... which means they are casino offers, and yes, the casinos will be crowded.

Appreciate your feedback. The smaller space in the cabins and bathrooms is a definite bummer for me. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
