Review summary

The ship is beautiful and unique. I would always book shore excursions thru the cruise line. Our excursions booked through were a hike to get to and the one that was canceled due to inclement weather took a few calls to resolve and still waiting on refund. Those who booked with carnival were refunded that very same day.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

We did not like the ramp entrance and it was very crowded.

Very different layout.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Forward cabin, nice large balcony but the railing was metal. Couldn't see the ocean without standing, but it was very private.

Ship tip

Book a departure that is as late as possible to avoid crowds.

Again, don't book a beach excursion because a beautiful beach and pool are right there at the port.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

Rained all day. Not much to do on or off the ship. There is really no alternate activities when it rains.
