Finished off the year 2024 with a nice cruise. Eight full days of sailing from Miami to CuraƧao. Went with Carnival cruise lines as we enjoyed the last ship we were on, however this one was not as good. Food kind of sucked a bit, same thing every day, entertainment was really bad. They had some younger folks doing every show, no substitutions at all, same cast and crew every show. Aruba was grand, loved spending the day there, then on to Bonaire which kind of sucked as it was mostly still under development and the sights were minimal, unless you wanted to visit what few souvenir shops there were. Didn't make much sense to me to have spent an entire day there in port with nothing really to offer, but only a few short hours at our final destination which was of course Curacao. Nice day spent there on the beach but alas a much shorter day which was disappointing to me.
I think I enjoyed the actual sailing more than the destinations. I love just cruising the sea with the sunshine, a drink and taking in the sights. Would probably take a second cruise with the same destinations but not for a few years as I would like to see Bonaire built up more and having a great deal more to offer, or skipped entirely.
Previous cruise we were on the MSC lines, much bigger ship and offered a great deal more amenities and better drink package. A tad more costly but worth it in the end I think. We also had a balcony suite so that added to the cost. To me it was a more enjoyable cruise all in all.
