Review summary

Luv Mardie Gras! Disappointed with Carnival & chgs

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Carnival no longer has a special place for Platinum & Diamond members. Only those who purchased a suite. They now get special treatment at Embarkation. Very Unhappy about that since we are loyal customers of Carnival. Bad Move on their part..

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Don't really do much other than relax, sun, rest and eat! LOL

Entertainment

I didn't go to any of the shows.

Children's Programs

I did not have kids with me.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff made you feel special and were hard working as always.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was spotless as a NEW ship should be!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved everything about the room. The new ship really thought thru the extra storage and plugs. Loved the mini fridge in our room. The bathroom design with the shower door and no curtain was a plus.

Ship tip

Make your reservations at the specialty restaurants as soon as your able. Even though they worked us in. (THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT BEING A PLATINUM MEMBER ON THIS CRUISE) . The restaurants got us in with little wait. Bring Cash to tip your servers bc you don't pay for ALL of the specialty places. They work just as hard as the servers in the dinning room.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

Just stayed on the quiet boat.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Loved the Resort for a Day resort we went too. Super chill and beautiful.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
One of our favorite ports. Beached it and my husband snorkeled.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were able to disembark early with the Platinum status. So that went smoothly.
