We won this cruise so we figured we'd better use it. Before this cruise I never imagined I would enjoy one and I think the Carnival Ecstasy was probably not a great choice for a first cruise. My wife was excited for this cruise and ended the cruise not that excited.
Despite this boat being remodeled a few years ago ... it's like the saying you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
The room: Very Small, but maybe that's typical.
