Review summary

To start off with it was a very beautiful sunny day and the gentleman who picked up our luggage and carried us to the boat was extremely nice and extremely helpful so that was an A+ all the way around. Getting on the ship went very smoothly had no problems And had no problems when it came time to actually board. All three places that we went to was very nice very little bad weather only in the Bahamas the seas weren’t very rocky which was extremely nice and the boat just seem to flow through the water. Arriving back to Port and getting off was easy as well. The gentleman who picked us up was there and got our bags loaded and we were off. All in all a very nice cruise.

Everything went smoothly from being picked up at the hotel to being dropped off to being checked in to go aboard.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All of the food was great in every type of venue we went to, but I think what got our most visits were to the ice cream machine, yummy…

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
So many different activities to do on board made it so hard to decide which one you wanted to do, putt-putt the bomb.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The singing and dancing was great especially the three ladies playing the violins they were awesome. And the Flying Scotsman there are no words to describe he was absolutely great! All the different shows and being able to participate in them was really nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was on point and our steward was very nice and was willing to go the extra mile.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Design was awesome and the ship was constantly being wiped down and mopped and the bar and tables were always cleared.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Was really surprised it held 4 women’s massive supply of everything and still had room.

Ship tip

Book your excursions early and on the first day walk,walk and walk the ship so you know where everything is at so you won’t miss anything and always go early to get a seat for the shows!

Ports of call

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Was very pretty and everyone was very nice and not too pushy. It was a beautiful day a little on the warm side but that was ok just enjoyed looking at all the pretty flowers and landscaping.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
It started raining when we got off but we keep going and did some shopping and looking around at the sites even with the rain. Gave it 4 stars because we didn’t get to see everything.

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
We rented a golf cart to see the island and needless to say the cart we had needed to be retired! The island was nice and enjoyed the shopping and especially the Starbucks. The reason for the 4 stars was due to our golf cart.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Love Port Carnaval we always look at the ships while we’re staying at Coco Beach.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Went really smooth no major issues or problems and our driver was there waiting on us.

Room 14400, is the bed next to the balcony or the bathroom? Our Carnival Cruise Planner tells us it’s next to the balcony but I cannot find any evidence of that and am worried it’s the layout we do not like
