Creator's Key Takeaways

Kirawina Island was stunning but glad we headed back to the ship when we did because that rain just came and didn't stop as soon as we boarded.

Just had some lunch, which is the same lunch they serve every single day at the buffet, which is fine.

The entre and the desserts were the same as the other night. So, solid effort. Mains are pretty good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring a waterproof action camera for snorkeling.
βœ“Be prepared for rain and storms on the island.

Finally got to use my new Action camera! Weather wasn't the best to get that sunny tropical vibe, but the rain didn't chase away the fish. The cruise itself is staying pretty average at this point. Food still isn't impressing me, the production show was nothing like the quality I'm used to...all in all, it's still just ...average. Kirawina Island was stunning but glad we headed back to the ship when we did because that rain just came and didn't stop as soon as we boarded. Not sure why Carnival is so adverse to using more tenders, that queue to get back was the standard length all day! A poor guest even passed out right next to us on the dock but thankfully there was already a tender waiting so they could get him straight to the medical centre. Another danger of the older demographic I guess...
