We got our cruise for a great price, it was nice. It had its fallouts and a few hiccups, but overall it was still a great vacation.
We celebrated our anniversary. We were supposed to get a cake, but never got one. There was a lot to do, and there was always something to do. We found "specialty" foods like the crepe station that was beyond delicious! The staff was fantastic. We hadn't gone on an all inclusive cruise before it was a huge selling point which we really enjoyed.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
same foods for every breakfast lunch and dinner. However the "specialty" foods, like the crepe station and the taco bar on the private island were beyond delicious!
Onboard Activities

Entertainment
5 out of 5
Is it a bad thing to have too much to do!? We struggled with trying to fit all the entertainment in! We missed a few shows we wanted to see because they overlapped with others... not a bad problem to have!!!!

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
we only encountered 2 staff that were less than enthusiastic to help us. one was at the service desk and the other a waiter at a specialty restaurant. The other staff were more than accomidating and fun, kind, and fantastic

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We don't typically spend much time in our cabin as we are out exploring. We just need a place to crash. It was very clean, the pillows and bed were very comfortable.
Our room was freshened twice a day. Our needs were well met!
Ship tip
We spent the late night in the hot tubs where it was quiet, during the day it was a bit busy and crazy.
aside from the buffet they have a "hidden" taco line that was absolutely amazing. Be sure to check out the whole island so you get the FULL experience!
Everything on paradise island is extra. to cross the bridge it costs money and its all private unless you are on an excursion. Locals are hard sellers, but also know the secrets of the island.
I'm with you all the way on this review. Your approach to Nassau was faultless. I'm sure you left with a good story, as I did on the same cruise. All-inclusive should be a lesson learned by Carnival.

happy Anniversary! Sorry that you never received our cake. Don't hesitate to mention it to your server next time. Having a TA note it on your reservation helps, too. Glad that although there were a few issues, overall you had a good cruise. No cruise is perfect.
Good for you, my wife and I were on this sail also totaly agree I will add what a smooth sail like sailing on a cloud. Have fun on your next adventure.
