When a friend of ours suggested we join them on the cruise, I was excited. But, when I heard it was a Carnival ship, I was hesitant because I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about that cruise line.
Decided to go for it and I am SO happy that we did!
We live very close to Baltimore, so boarding was a breeze. I thought it would take a while to get onboard and into our stateroom, but we were on the ship in no time and checking the place out right away. I know that a lot of people have complained about the Renaissance theme being a bit much for family "viewing", but I actually got a kick out of it. Would I change some of the elevator door art? Maybe. A couple of the murals? Possibly, but as the week went by, I grew to appreciate it more as I studied more details and the overall flow of the look. It works.
Cabin 6153- Good location, plenty of space. I was impressed by all the storage. Two closets for hanging things, one cabinet with about six deep shelves, which was more than sufficient. Enough drawers to use as well. Only complaint would be that the little fridge was not cold enough and we never quite got a handle on the temperature setting in the cabin. We did bring a bungee cord and used it several times to hold the balcony door open to get some air and that was great.
Liked the unobstructed balcony view- especially with coffee in the morning.
Bed and pillows were very comfortable- slept very well. Beach towels were furnished which were big and thirsty. Robes were in the closet and I wore mine every day- loved it! If I didn't have robes at home, I would have bought one to take home.
TV had good information options and surprisingly good reception.
Service every day was impeccable.
