Sail Date: May 2016
Cabin: Ocean View

We were in Ocean view Cabin 203 on Riviera Deck. We went to Key West & Cozumel. Ship condition was good, older ship. We were pleased with space of cabin for 3 men. Food was okay. Stage shows were much better than expected. They used DJ heavily. Live music was not great and hardly around. Lido deck was entirely smoky because of Casino. TV stations much better then expected.

Key West docked way too early and only 5 hours in port. Nightmare to get back on ship if waited until last minute. Line was over a mile long!!! Key West was a nice port to visit, would have been better in the afternoon. Cozumel is great port as well, only problem was they docked away from the action. We just wanted to walk Cozumel like we've done in the past, but dock too far away and was not interested in taking a taxi.

We did love having the Ship all to ourselves though and would do that again. Serenity Adult Only area was great! Sauna nice, but Men's steam room was not working the entire cruise. For what we needed date wise and for the price we did enjoy this cruise. My wife and two girls are on the Carnival Magic right now and are loving the Ship!!!

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6D

We like our cabin and cabin steward. Plenty of room for 3 men! We knew cabin at bottom of ship and we'd have some noise and vibration, but it really was only during docking. The cabin and bunk actually was really a great layout for us. Plenty of space to walk around. Hallways quiet.

Miami

I love the new tunnel to the terminal!

Key West

Key West is a great port, but should arrive in the afternoon, not the morning

Cozumel

Plenty to do in Cozumel. Always a great port to visit
