Sail Date: Mar 2019
We stayed at the Quality Inn in Cocoa Beach(??). The price included our room, transportation from the Orlando Airport to the hotel, shuttle to the ship, and transportation from the ship back to the airport. A real bargain.
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary; islands that we had never visited before. Embarkation went very smoothly; disembarkation.....not so much.
We have been on numerous Carnival ships, some larger, some smaller. But, for some reason, this is the first time I have ever felt that the ship was crowded. I feel as though when Carnival refurbished the ship, they tried to cram too many things into the space. Some areas seemed underutilized; others, such as the Comedy Club were packed with standing room only, and some people not able to get in at all. Too have to stand in line for 45 minutes or more, just to get into the Comedy Club (and not sure you will get a seat) seems a little ridiculous.
Cabin Review
Cabin Grand Suite
Our cabin was GREAT! Twin beds, a sofa that made out into a double bed, with an extension, so that you still had room for a couple of people to sit, plus two arm chairs and a small table. TONS of counter tops and drawers. A Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. A dressing room. Several closets. A long balcony which held a lounger, two chairs and a table in the Serenity deck style. AND...multiple outlets in various places in the cabin.
Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
Beautiful city. Didn't book a tour, but enjoyed wandering around the port shops. They had everything! It's a long pier, so took a ride in a complimentary pedal-cab.
