I first want to say it was nice meeting some of you at the meet and greet and then a couple of days later we recognized snoozeman in the crowd and got to talk to him as well. I personally had a surprisingly better cruise than I thought I was going to have. The calm seas in the North Atlantic were quite unexpected and a pleasure. I/We were expecting rough seas.
We found the ship to be clean and not too bad to navigate. From past experiences Carnival ships on the whole are not as easy to get around in but not so bad we didn't find our way. The Embarkation and Debarkation went extremely fast and easy. I wish I could say that about all my cruises. Kudos to the shore staff there in Boston.
Our balcony room was a pretty good size for the 3 of us. It seemed a little bit larger than some of our previous cruises and it was very clean and had plenty of closet and storage space. We had only one small glitch, it took the maintenance man two trips to clear up a slightly clogged shower drain. But other than that the room was definitely clean and our towel animals were made very well. On a previous cruise we would laugh trying to figure out what the steward had made because they were so deformed.
Plenty of storage and closet space. Good location to get to the dinning room and lounges.
