Debarkation- Absolute nightmare. Got herded outside to a long line. Arrival times did not matter. Had to speak to a rep. Who put colored stickers on boarding passes. If you were lucky enough to speak to a rep, you got inside. Very disorganized and started off the cruise negatively.
Once inside, the rest of the process was much better. Very few of us wore masks indoors.
Cabin - Balcony, deck 6 mid ship. It was in decent enough shape, but found several long hairs out in the open, on the couch, counter and even attached to the lamp next to bed. Yuck. The mirrors inside the closet were smudged with obvious hand marks, and our daughter found sand in her closet. Our shower over flowed two times. Someone did come to look at it, but only resolution was to lower the water flow dramatically to prevent it overflowing over the lip. You are forewarned. We will look for ships with doors in the future. We are seasoned cruisers, pretty tolerant, don’t expect perfection. No one should have to mop up after a shower or find hair as we did. That said, all staff works very hard. Cabin staff seems overworked. They need help. Carnival suits, give it to them.
Food - Very good. If the buffet doesn’t work for you, the anytime dining is a good choice. Not formal, and good coffee! We weren’t going to use dining room and eat outdoors exclusively, but some gf family members did much better there. Be aware Cucina is a great choice for free lunch. Pig and Anchor was a hit too.
Entertainment - very good. Ryan, the CD is an A+++. Staff all work so hard. Musicians seemed varied. Comedy show was good too. Casino was really fun and had a good assortment of machines to choose. Always had staff walking around to take drink orders.
Bermuda - No one ever asked to see our $40 authorization Forms. Really. Certainly a money grab for Bermuda. Walked to Snorkel Park. Convenient and it provided us a beach, calm waters and walkable to/from ship. We enjoyed snorkeling along the fort wall and rocks.
Debarkation - Off the ship in 5 minutes. Self Debarkation. Carried our luggage. Completely different than getting on.
Had a great time. So convenient to drive to port. But….they must clean up embarkation. It really was horrible. Happy to answer any questions.
