Review summary

Our cancellation, canceled, rebooked cruise, was to be last new year but must say it was well worth the wait. Beautiful ship and loved the newness of the ship a few changes and it will be perfect ship. Every ship, cruise is different it’s all about what you put into it that can make or break a journey on a cruise ship 🛳. Have fun.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Surprisingly simple and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main Dinning seemed a tiny bit slow, but overall was a good experience. Specialty restaurants were diverse and very good. Buffets were very good overall.

Bar della Rosa

5 out of 5

A nice bar with music and great for a drink before dinner.

Alchemy Bar

5 out of 5

A bit more crowded then some of the others on different ships, but still the great creations and fun time.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Because of COVID-19 there were definitely changes. We don’t get overly involved anyway so for that being said it seemed fine.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

They did a fine job overall. The main singers seemed a bit underwhelming in our opinion.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

No complaints with our cabin service what so ever they did a great job for us, always ice clean towels and the towel animals were great to see. 😂

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very large ship for Carnival, beautiful decor. A bit more compartmentalizations then other ships, and that seem to make ship less congested. Service deck seems to be in wrong location for sure. Love the smoke free casino as well.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Awesome Size love the two TVs and larger bathroom.

Ports of call

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5

Love the diversity of this port can do as much or as little as you wish to do .
