Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate in main dining room 2 times. On lobster night and filet minor night. There are I believe 22 places to find food. Most of them included in price. We found everything we ate delicious! Guys Pig and Anchor was probably our favorite.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We used the hit tubs and pools. We rode the roller coaster BOLT which was a lot of fun! There was putt putt and a basketball court. All kinds of activities at the pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The main stage shows we're awesome! There were 60 comedy shows I believe and the ones we attended were great! The cruise director the Flying Dutchman was awesome. We enjoyed the piano bar with Eden. Lots if great sitting areas and bars.

Children's Programs

No children

Ship Quality

This is an AMAZING ship. I am a Platinum cruiser with Carnival and this is my favorite ship do far!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice cabin. Normal sized balcony. You were looking down on 3 other balconies below that were staggered out. Loved the bathroom! Shower actually has a door! It is located in a hallway that if you go right you end up at mid ship elevator and if you go left you end up at aft elevator. So we found it convenient.

Ship tip

Prepare to walk. She is a big ship. I probably would not choose balcony on I think 9,10 or 11. Certainly not in the area of our room as your balcony is not private.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
I love this port. Always operates smoothly.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We did a 2 tank certified dive here and it was absolutely AMAZING! Highly recommend. The Palancar reef is beautiful and very healthy looking where we dove. Palance Gardens was the first site and it was a wall! Really nice!

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
We had booked a private diving excursion with Mar Adentura diving since one was not offered on the ship. I had read great reviews. Taking a taxi outside of the port was super easy and was 4 dollars pp. Plus tip. The folks at the dive shop were super nice. They were fitting us for our BCD's (which were great quality ) when the Harbour master called and said no boats were allowed to go out because the seas were so rough😢 I am going to plan a trip to Mahuhal and just dive with them!

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
We did the Jolly Roger snorkeling with lunch excursion. Worth every penny! They take you to a beautiful reef to snorkel. The lunch is awesome with plenty of rum punch after the water activities.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We carry our luggage off and we walked straight off at 0745 and we're in a cab by 0750! Super easy!!!
