This was my 10th cruise, third time with Carnival; cruised with RCCL over 10 years ago. Traveling with high school classmates! Explored port city before and after cruise, Miami. Embarkation went smoothly. Debarkation in Miami was slow but better than New Orleans. Balcony cabin was nice. Dining....well I was not impressed with the new menu in main dining room. Did not care for anytime dining...don't like to wait for a table and then get bad service at dinner. Enjoyed the sea day brunch, steak and eggs for breakfast. The steak I had for breakfast was better than the one I had for dinner on elegant night! Did not go to the comedy club, do not want like bad language, call me old fashioned, but there are plenty of other words in the English language to use to express yourself and be funny. Really enjoyed parasailing in St. Thomas, that was the highlight of the cruise!!!!! Plan to cruise again, unsure if we will cruise Carnival, seriously considering RCCL in 2018 or 2019!
Spent the day on beach....husband had a great time swimming and paddle board.
shopping was okay.
