What can I say. This is a beautiful and amazing ship and the service was wonderful.

Embarkation was fine. We got to the port around 10:00 because we wanted to be the first in line and get on the ship first and we were. Although cabins are not ready until 1:00 pm so you can go straight up to Lido deck to eat lunch. The food was very, very good. They have a lot of diffent variety to choose from. The only complaint was long lines everywhere, however, they did move pretty quickly.

The first day in Belize it rained hard all day. We did not get off the ship that day. They had cancelled the Cave Tubing excursion due to the river being flooded. You also have to be tendered to the island. We were told by the cruise director, Josh, that if you dont have a tour booked there, you would be right back on the ship in 30 minutes because there is not much there to see unless you have booked a tour and go out into the mainland.

Isla Roatan Honduras was beautiful. We did the Tabayana Beach Day. Water is beautiful and crystal clear. This is a very crowded area so if you want to do a beach day and have a lot of privacy, they suggested you do the Paradise Beach Day. By the way, Paradise Beach is where they filmed the Corona Beer commercial.

Grand Cayman was amazing. You have to do Stingray City. The Stingrays are amazing and so loveable. We also did the Turtle Farm and visited Hell on this excursion. Again, amazing! There is still alot of Hurricane damage from Ivan. Very sad.

Cozumel. This was my favorite stop. You must do either the Dolphin Encounter or the Dolphin Swim. We did the Dolphin Encounter. Our dolphins name was Amaya. They film the whole experience so you can purchase the video afterward. The video was 29.00 and well worth every cent!!

The cruise director Josh Riffe was good. Not the best we have had, but good. Be sure to keep up with your Carnival Capers because he did not keep you much informed as to what is going on throughout the day.

The shows where the best I have ever seen on all my cruises. Go to all the shows!!!

We had late seating dinner for the first time. We enjoyed this better because we had more time to spend out on deck and were not rushed for dinner. They also have a Sushi Bar, so if you want an appetizer for dinner, perfect!

The disco was fun but they seemed to play the same type of music every night and did not play alot of variety. Be sure to go to the Eagles Lounge and hear the Music Society. They have been on every ship we have been on and they are great. They play a variety of music, top 40, disco, country, you name it, they play it.

Cool Runnings was the Reggae Band out on deck. They are great also.

Embarkation was a breeze. Here's a little secret. After you get your luggage in the warehouse, be sure to let one of the porters from outside take your luggage for you because you get to go straight to customs and bypass the very, very, very, long line waiting to go thru customs.

All being said, I would definately go on this ship again and I am starting to plan my next cruise.
