We have been loyal Carnival Cruisers for all of our 9 cruises, so we have a pretty good idea of what to expect on a Carnival ship in terms of service, food and entertainment. We sailed on this boat as recently as May 2012 and had a great time on the 4 day itinerary, and decided to end our summer the way it began with the 3 day itinerary.

Check in was quick since we arrived around 11:45 and the boarding process had just begun. We went to the Lido Deck and were pleased to find not only the grill food available with burgers and hotdogs, but they also opened a Rotisserie with roasted chickens and carved roast beef and the Mongolian wok. Neither of these were options in May. I didn't try the Mongolian since the line was longer than I wanted to wait, but my husband had the chicken and said it was good. The standard buffet line, sandwiches and pizzas were also available inside.

For the first time, we were in the muster group that met on the Lido Deck. The safety briefing was totally disorganized on this deck compared to all of the other briefings that we attended. Due to the large amount of space and distractions, people were chatting, eating and drinking and just being loud and rude in general. Glad we didn't need to follow safety procedures, as everyone around us wouldn't have known what to do!

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6E

The cabin didn't have too much hallway noise, but there was some noise from the floor above (dining area) at different times of the day. It was convenient to the dining room and to the grand atrium.
