Enjoyable trip. Fun! Graet service!! Kendall Fire: superb! After a few Carnival ships, we are interested in seeing what other lines have to offer as well.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Embarkation was incredibly expeditious. Please, have everything available for the team so they can get you on the ship as quickly as possible. From the parking to boarding the ship, everyone was friendly and efficient!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Main Dining Rooms: Food was very good and the service was excellent. Though we didn't eat there every night so we could explore other options, when there, everything was delicious and the dinner entertainment was joyful! I would love a turkey burger option at Guy's...the veggie patty wasn't impressive. The BBQ at Pig and Anchor was tasty. JavaBlue Cafe has the tastiest breakfast sandwiches and soothing specialty coffees. Please do yourself a favor and try the biengnettes at Emeril's Bistro...yummy!! There is a grilled chicken based sandwich at the panini restaurant...it was so good. Try the Botonique at the Fortune Teller and a nice beverage at the Brass Magnolia while listening to a really great artist!! I also enjoyed a delicious breakfast sandwich at Shaq's Big Chicken. Tip: Some of the main dishes are also served in the Lido Marketplace.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
I enjoyed the games and trivia, but my favorite was Karaoke! The hosts made the event such fun! The Motown event was also great fun! Dancing and singing and watching people from all ages and backgrounds just have fun was inspiring!! Oh, attend the Family Fued show...it's quite a treat. Kendall Fire, the Cruise Director has soooo much energy and she is incredibly humorous. I would return on a ship if she were orchestrating the fun.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Loved Rock Revolution! Great songs!
Loved the DJ (Clark) at the Center Stage
Steel drum music with Sal...lovely!
M Theory Magic Show....magician has talent! I think a little more confidence and timing of reveals will make for an even better show next time.
Roger in the Piano Bar makes the evening fun and enjoyable. His show is interactive and humorous. Tip: Cash gets your song bumped to the front of the line.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Balcony Cabin with 2 chairs and a table. Hubby wanted a lounge chair on the balcony. I told him if that was an option, people wouldn't leave the rooms.Tiny bathrooms. One member of our party slept on the pull out sofa. The bedding was soiled. Called housekeeping immediately to change it out. We sprayed and lined it with disposable bedding before the new items were put on. Great room steward. Very responsive and pleasant.
Ship tip
Carnival did a great job translating the holidays on the ship.
Learn where the least busy elevators are...aft or forward!
The teens on board were a little "energetic" at times during Dive In Movies and some were running at full speed on various floors.
It was interesting to see identified security in areas where the young people frequented.
We took the Calypso Rainbow Tram tour of the island. The tour guide was so pleasant and really made the tour enjoyable. It was wonderful learning about local history and customs. The port had nice shops.
Opted to carry our luggage off. Quick, speedy process! TIP: IF YOU ARE CAREYING YOUR OWN LUGGAGE OFF, BUIKD IN TIME TO GET ON AN ELEVATOR WITH YOUR ITEMS.
