Review summary

This is next level for Carnival cruising. So amazing!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
They were allowing people to check in earlier than their scheduled times so many of us in line on time were delayed in boarding. It was a bit of a cluster, but considering the recent return to cruising and this being a new ship with many new port employees, it was definitely forgivable.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Fortune Teller Bar was a nightly favorite. Between the guitarist and fun staff, we had a blast every night.

Ship tip

Plan to try all of the included restaurants. There are so many and the experience in each is much better than the main dining room.

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Rent a cabana with VIP service. It includes zip lining and you can split the cost with another person/couple if traveling with less than 4 people.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Best debarkation process I’ve ever experienced. We waited maybe 10 minutes before we were able to walk off with our luggage.

Loved this ship! Was on in August, second cruise going out. There were a little hiccups, but it was new and everyone was just getting back to the cruise life. Definitely would go on again.
A Different Kind of Cruise . . . But not in a bad way
Worth Sailing Once
