Review summary

Great vacation, always goes quick. Very nice ship…food, drink’s, entertainment very good!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Carnival staff well versed, to bad people waiting to board would listen to directions….

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Palm dining service and food the best!! Was served timely and hot or cold as ordered. Lido easy for quick breakfast, but dining for true breakfast was delicious. Steakhouse was good value for the quality of food and service!! BBQ and Italian included for dinner at no charge and provide variety if desired.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools provide great relaxation and downtime, many things to do if your wish is to be busy all the time…

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All shows were professional and very entertaining, bringing back live musicians into some of the shows was like past cruises! I hope they continue this!! Comedians all were funny and true to life with their sets, in fact you wanted more of their shows… The bars and lounges all had good singers, bands… nice to relax over a beer and be entertained

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiter Carlos and his assistants were all you could have asked for!! From friendly conversation to amazing service makes the Palm dining enjoyable!! Always had the extras after first night ready, ice tea for dinner and coffee for dessert.. Carlos was on his last cruise of 8 months and left the ship with us to head home to Peru…he will be on the Celebration in Jan…you will all enjoy him. Our room steward Troy was as equally service oriented, extra towels, and room always in great shape! All the crew always acknowledged you, from the good mornings to hi can I help you!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean and very well maintained, crew was constantly cleaning. If people would not leave plates, glasses in elevators, on stairs and everywhere else is convenient for them, would help. I don’t think they do that at home, but maybe they do.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Like shower door on new ship compared to shower curtain, sliding door on balcony more user friendly… nothing broken or not working, everything in great shape…AC more than adequate.

Ship tip

I would look at the deck plans before boarding a little studying before hand and you will learn how to get around sooner!!

Grand Turk Island
