Our kids took this cruise in 2019. They wanted us to go this time. We got a good deal on the price. The itinerary included Cozumel, Roatan Island and Belize. We also liked the choices of food and onboard activities. We got off of the ship at all three ports. At Roatan Island (by Honduras), Carnival did a great job of ensuring that the place was conducive to a fun day. The water was warm and clear...the bottom was pretty much flat and free of big rocks. Plenty of shade. At Belize, we took the snorkel excursion via shuttle boat to a small island. Lunch was included...a fun day. Warning though, don't walk around in bare feet if you don't want sand flea bites. Lots of ants on the island as well. Just keep your stuff off the ground. In Cozumel, we enjoyed the shopping. TIP: don't bother asking what the price is because the answer will always be "Not much" lol. We had fun bargaining....we actually got some good deals (at least we thought so).

Embarkation was fairly easy. Debarkation was pretty well organized. The process started at 9 and we were off and through customs by 10. I was impressed with all of the efforts of the staff to make things as safe and fun as possible. We avoided Ida, so that was awesome. Were there a few burps and bumps here and there? Sure. Yes, you will have to wait a long time for an elevator during peak times. Sometimes, the buffet runs out of a favorite item. The Serenity deck closes at 7 pm on the last two nights for cleaning, but opens again at midnight. However, those are small things. The food was good. The activities were fun. We feel we got our money's worth and will cruise with Carnival again.
