We had a good time, but probably the first and last time we do Carnival. We would definitely go back to Royal when we cruise again.

Our stateroom attendant, Jeffery, was great and very pleasant. Wait staff were very friendly.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Most areas of the ship were very clean, only thing, they need to keep up more with people leaving dirty dishes outside their cabins that would be there for hours on end. Also, they need more garbage receptacles throughout, every time I needed to throw something away I would have to search and search for a garbage can.
Rented a golf cart from DEA Rentals, had fun driving around the island. Saw plenty of donkeys (fed them carrots), went to the lighthouse. Then swam in ocean and ate at Jack’s Shack. Overall we had a good time.
We did express checkout, we had 8:10-8:30 scheduled. Well our group was called an hour early, but we were having breakfast. By the time we went to disembark, in our time slot, it was massive chaos! Got stuck in a very long line of people, took a good 20 minutes or more to finally get through.
I agree with the dishes needing to be picked up more often. We saw some that were sitting there for almost a whole day. Seems like since the stewards only go in the room once a day, it doesn’t get picked up quick.
I was also looking for garbage cans a few times, especially around the splash pad and mini golf area.
Thanks for your review. Unfortunately, you can't go by the scheduled disembarkation times unless you are in a premier cabin with extra benefits, like escorted disembarking. I either get in line around 5:30am to be safe or just wait until everyone is off. Otherwise you'll be in a long line. And so many people sneak in front of you.
