Creator's Key Takeaways

we had a blast we love to cruise literally you know as long as there's you know food and entertainment and booze will probably be happy

the crew staff which arguably the highlight of the trip they were really really good very high energy

the shows that they had each night mediocre in our opinion we didn't go to any of them after that

the staff was overwhelmed they weren't prepared for they didn't add anywhere near enough staff

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be aware of the souvenir drink cups they hand you on embarkation day; they cost extra if you don't have a drink package.
✓If you're sensitive to smoke, use the non-smoking section of the casino on deck 4.
✓For live music lovers, note that the Carnival offerings were only okay on this trip.

What is a tender? — Tenders are smaller boats that take people to shore when there's no dock; Carnival's tenders hold 350-400 people.
Drink costs on private island — Drinks on Half Moon Cay are not included in the drink package; you have to pay separately.
