My husband and I go to Nassau every year now for Memorial Weekend and it has turned into a group trip with some friends. This year it rained the entire time, but we still enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! Half were first time cruisers so they enjoyed everything about the trip.
The servers in the dining room were great. We did not seem to have an issue when eating at the buffet, but the pizza line was outrageous at times and it seems that Carnival would fix this by now. We ordered room service one night after my husband tried to get some pizza and I am sure that it came faster than him standing in the line himself.
Embarkation was a breeze!!! I have NEVER gotten on a ship so quickly! We boarded in Miami and they have changed the process a lot!
Our steward was PHENOMENAL!!! It seemed as if he cleaned our cabin every time we left.
