Worth the trip. Great weekend getaway. Will go again, just a little longer. We weren't able to do all the great things offered. I told everyone about this cruise and line. To me it's a little bit more but it's the best bang for the buck. They have alot of activites that are included in the price tag.

Getting on was super quick! The new port was very simple, there was no lines and everyone was friendly.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

We did the Windjammer for all meals. The steak was the bomb.com! The staff was hilarious. They remembered my sister and I so that was nice. The coffee and tea selection was very good for being free. It wasn't watered down like the last Carnival cruise I went on. I didn't need to go to Starbucks. Tip: Add hot coco mix or chocolate syrup to the coffee for a delicious Café Mocha.

Onboard Activities

I was still very sore so I wasn't able to go down the slides, do the flo rider or trampoline. However the Solarium was amazing! It wasn't crowded. Loved the beds facing the water, the whirlpools was so relaxing. I loved the swimming pool. It was great to see that they drain the whirlpools clean them then refill. So when we were in it, there wasn't any scum. There was soo many things to do on that weekend cruise I was amazed.

Entertainment
5 out of 5
The DJ was pretty good. The elevator Piano Guy was the best!! We found him and I suggest to all to try and find him. The comedian ( 18+) was pretty funny. Not the best but pretty good. We sadly missed the Ice show and the original production but the Spa was nicer.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
There were only 2 staff people I wasn't that thrilled with. The Casino Bar guy that charged me for a Soda when I have the beverage package and the Service desk guy that said I would need to purchase a another drink package because I lost my cup. That's false and the manager the next day gave me a new one. They did take that soda price off on the last day, I was one of many that was charged. Everyone else was very helpful and nice.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
We were by the window in the Windjammer and it rained so water drops were coming in. I didn't make a huge deal, it's water and only a few drops. The ship, like most has some areas paint is peeling and rusted but that's on deck. I Loved that they have sinks you can wash your hands before eating at the Windjammer. There is also a person that stands there asking you to plus a hand sanitizer if you don't want to wash your hands.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Panoramic Ocean View was the best. The location was perfect. Near the Spa and one floor below was the Solarium. The room was very spacious and the window is slightly tilted, so we stood on the ledge and could see the balconies below. The view was great. I would choose this cabin type again. Downside there were no outlets near the bed. So charging any items had to be done on the desk. There were only 2 outlets on the desk.
Due to construction, they only had 2 little carts of items to purchase. I wanted souvenirs but there wasn't any. We didn't eat the free buffet becuase we were lounging and missed it. The loungers were plentiful, the bathroom was clean and even had a woman in there cleaning it. The showers were nice but the water was cold. I've been to Nassua for snorkling and the water was very warm, due to it being connected to the ocean the water was very cold. The water park looked fun but we didn't pay for an excursion. Until the water park is opened, it was better on the boat. I won't go back until it's finished.
There was a delay in the am. We waited at the serivce desk because I was charged for a soda but I had a drink package. We were about to get off but my sister's name was flagged for a missing service. That was annoying beacause they give us a "get to the front of the line free" card however they gave the same card to everyone so nonone was in the front. It took so long to get everything done we ended being the last 2 to get off the port.
