Always a lot going on. We missed one port because of rough seas. The crew was ready and prepared to add a great variety of activities to keep everyone entertaned.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Captain Marek is the best!!!! Because of rough seas, Captain Marek made the hard call to cancel the port. Carnival Madi Gras tried to dock and had to recall people when water was washing up over the dock.

Love this size ship. It's great to sail on something other than a floating amusement park.

I agree that the itinerary options are not good out of Tampa. The Radiance class ships are a good size. We are heading out in January.

You didn’t have to go on the itinerary but at least you got away and I’m sure you had a good time
