On a larger ship with better ports of call, this could easily have been a 5. The staff were excellent, as usual, and made the best of our Hurricane Matthew experience. It was nice to see Key West on the first day, but it doesn't seem like anywhere we'd want to port again. After touring a bit and hitting one of the beaches, we snorkeled with Sunset Watersports. I would recommend them. On the second day, we rented a jeep and drove up to Key Largo, where we had lunch and caught some rain from the very farthest out bands of Matthew. Check out Hobos Cafe if you get the chance.
The evening dining was great, but the food selection seemed a bit less exciting than our previous Carnival cruise, with smaller portions, which on the other hand means you can try more selections without stuffing yourself.
The cabin was excellent, but somehow we ended up with some nasty water backing up out of the shower drain a couple of times. It wasn't much, but enough to get around the sink area. We just laid a couple of towels down and pressed on.

If you haven't been - go! If you love the LGBT scene, pub crawling, museum tours and such - go again! We will most likely avoid it in the future. For us it was just too much like any other high traffic US vacation spot. We even likened it to "Gatlinburg on the Beach."
