This was my third cruise, second with Carnival, and I had a great time! This ship was very similar to the Splendor, which I had sailed on last time.

Ports:

I sailed with my boyfriend (first time cruiser) and we selected this specific cruise because we really liked the itinerary. He wanted to go to Belize, and I wanted to revisit Cozumel and check out Roatan. Two sea days surrounding the 4 port days was an excellent schedule to keep us busy and also allow some days for relaxing on the pool deck and sleeping in. Grand Cayman and Belize are both tender ports, which is a pain, but that can't be helped. Carnival did a great job getting us off of the boat in a timely and easy manner. Of course, everyone (myself included) waits until the last tender to get back onto the ship at the end of the day, so there was a wait of 45 min - 1 hour to get back onto the boat at each of those ports, which is annoying. I hope someday, the port and Carnival can figure out a way to made tendering and re-boarding an easier and quicker process, however if it could be done, I am sure they would have done it by now! We booked 2 excursions with Carnival and 2 on our own. I do prefer the Carnival excursions now that I have experienced alternative options for the piece of mind that they offer with the guarantee that you will not get left behind. Especially on tender ports, it is nerve-wracking to be worrying about the time and bothering your tour guide to make sure you get back in time. Most of the islands have a different local time than your ship time and booking outside of Carnival can cause issues if you don't pay attention to the time difference (it happened to us in grand cayman).
