Traveled with children

We left from Miami, FL and had a smooth embarkation and disembarkation. The Ship is beautiful and you never seem to have enough time to see everything. We had a great cabin with a sleeper sofa for my 5 year old son; it was perfect! The dining was amazing and the food was very good!! Can't say enough about the sit down dinners each night which we really looked forward to with our waiters Ian and Ben. The entertainment was pretty good although we are a little more laid back and enjoyed the music instead of dancing. The shows were nice, not great but not bad. For anyone with kids i HIGHLY recommend; my son is 5 and wanted to stay at the kids club instead of hanging with us! They were packed with activities which gave us "adult" time. We have traveled Carnival in the past and this was MUCH better!

We went to Jamaica, was supposed to go to Grand Cayman but waters were too rough, Cozumel, and Coata Maya; all very beautiful.

I only have a few omplaints and I hope they work to resolve these: NEVER enough chairs so every single day we tried to get a chair by any of the pools we were unable; rude people to throw a towel on a chair and be gone for the whole day etc... Should look for ways to monitor that somehow so everyone gets a turn, majority of hot tubs were broken and didn't work the entire cruise so we were disappointed, my son wanted to see the "Wall of Chocloate" and it was broken the whole time and you could rarely find anyone even there to ask about it, and lastly the bathrooms were broken on and off SEVERAL days and it was horrible... Multiple floors didnt work, our rooms didnt work, so you were going floor by floor trying to find a working toilet. That DEF needs to be addressed asap!! Overall I would definitely book again; we got a great price and we understand they are working the bugs out of this new Ship...

Cabin Review

Cabin Balcony

Laid out very well, we had a queen bed with a sleeper sofa for my 5 year old son. The cabin till had plenty of room and we loved the balcony.
