Sail Date: Jun 2017
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
Traveled with children

We embarked during a flood in Galveston (no one's fault and that doesn't impact my review) and in fact, made it more epic. I was a single parent travelling with an 11 year old.

Pros: Amazingly quick embarkation and debarkation process. We were on and off the ship both times sooner than expected. This was an upgrade from the cruises we've taken with Carnival except when we had suites.

Excellent main dining during standard dining times. Our waiter and assistant made the trip a much better trip for us. Had we rated it just on them, it would have been 5 stars.

Cabin Review

Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin D1

Absolutely great value and space in this balcony room. We loved it and think anyone in this room will have a great time unless you are heavy into the sports part - then you will really want to be midship or aft as it's a big walk to get back to the slides, FloRider, etc.

Port Reviews

Galveston

Galveston is the most incredible city ever (lol I live here so am totally biased).

Cozumel

We did a private tour of San Gervasio, El Mirador, the Blowholes, town to shop, then skipped Punta Sur (the surf was too rough) and ended up at Sky Reef and it was amazing. Absolutely had a blast at Sky Reef and the fish and water clarity was gorgeous.

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

We did a private tour of the west end. Governor's Mansion, the homes of Bill Gates, Oprah, Queen's residence then on to Hell which was absolutely more impressive in person than what you'd expect. A highlight. Then we went to Royal Palms and spent a fortune renting chairs and an umbrella - and it was not worth it. Waves were rough, did some swimming but no fish to really see - swam out a bit and did see some but just not worth it. Wish we would have gotten dropped off at Grape or one of the public 7 mile beaches.
