7 Nights Eastern Caribbean from Miami, FL Cruise

fun trip was beautiful

beautiful everything was perfect was our first cruise and was not dissatisfied went to bahamas dominican republic and grand turk. every place we stopped was amazing would love to take another cruise on the carnival cruise line. our steward was very nice and our room was always clean. enjoyed the towel animals left on the bed every day of our cruise. he also made sure to always ask us if there was anything else he could do for us. Muktica went above and beyond for us. The food was excellent, guys burgers were fabulous and the buffet offered everything we needed every day.we also enjoyed the nightly movies on the lido deck and the sail away party was so much fun we really enjoyed that. Everything we did was so nice. we also went to the casino a couple of times and attended a few shows carnival celebration is a fantastic ship to cruise on.

Love Excel Class Ships!

Very pleased overall! Love Excel class ships! Casual dining options are a hit on this ship: Shaq's, Guy's, deli, pizza, along with Cucina and Chi-Bang. The good: food in MDR, casual dining, Steakhouse, embarkation, balcony deck 10 cabin, bars, casino, room steward, lido buffet breakfast, Loft 19, the App, pixels, guest services, soda package (swipe card vs carrying cup on RCCL), fellow cruisers lots of fun, shows, western itinerary which we have done multiple times. Improvement: Elevate food and bar service at Loft 19 (excellent real estate but food/drinks not great); variety of food Lido buffet lunch/dinner; improving MDR experience on flexible dining (2+hours length and not great table locations); disembarkation if you are using birth certificate vs passport the lines are incredibly long; we just walked off with passport after facial recognition. Hard working team members: Aldrin, room steward; Steakhouse Viktor & Attiya; Chi-Bang Karlina, Komang, Gede; MDR Vincent; Loft 19 Rayne, Jeffrey, Raymond, Moi, Ani Most of our cruises have been on Carnival; last one was on RCCL Symphony of the Seas. This cruise was much better than RCCL all around and the casual dining options are a homerun.

A true celebration!!!

This was my first time doing a mega cruise ship and Carnival really did a good job with the layout on the ship. Besides the minimal views for the center stage seating, the gateway has beautiful themes with the 820 biscayne area being also a nice area to relax (if you can get a seat). The food was really good with 21 food options on this ship, there was always a place where I was able to go to get a meal like guys, street eats. etc. I had the most fun aboard compared to the other CCL ships I've done and the crew made my time amazing. The ports were really good, but St Thomas wasn't my all time favorite due to stingrays and jellyfish at the beach I was at. Carnival really outdid themselves with the smoking area on this ship as they are more in the aft instead of mid ship lido. The ship smelled clean and looked beautiful while entering. Definitely the best cruise I've been on by far.
