Review summary
Cruising during the Covid-19 surge in all honesty made us feel a bit uneasy. However, Carnival made all that uneasy feeling melt aware with the adherence and dedication the increasing their own safety protocols. I can honestly say I felt safer, health wise, while on the ship than I did coming back home and walking into a store or going back to work. The mandates are not burdensome and because of it I am already looking for my next Carnival cruise!Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Havana Bar
Best mojito on the ship. Not sure many people knew where this bar was located. It was quiet and empty every time I went.
Lido Marketplace
Wide selection of food, even the pickiest of eaters would walk away happy.
Big Chicken by Shaq
Great Addition! Ate there daily!
Onboard Activities
Dreams Studio
Pricey to be honest, but the results are beyond my wildest dreams! Guess thats why its called Dreams Studio! They also can customize packages to come down on price.
