Traveled with children

This was our third cruise with carnival. We decided to pay extra and try the larger and newer ship out. While any vacation to the Caribbean is going to be great, we likely will not do the breeze again. It's probably better suited to people with young children, for the waterworks. We have 3 teens, and only one of them was into the waterworks slide and ropes course (which was closed half the time due to wind, which seems silly since you are strapped in).

What we did not like: There is no adult pool anywhere....complete oversight. Even a small pool the size of the Jacuzzi would have been appreciated with some cool water instead of hot. The tides pool is completely overrun and crowded. What made the matter worse is that they cram the lounge chairs so close together that you can't even access many of them. There were entire rows being unused because they were blocked in so tightly that people could not get to them at all. I saw two people fall very badly, one woman hitting her head. Hello, Carnival? Lawsuit potential. Space the chairs out. People don't want to sit on top of one another...and there were plenty of other chairs unused in other parts of the ship. You didn't need to pack them in so tight.

Two very small pools for a ship this size was not enough, especially when there is no pool limited to adults. Too many obnoxious kids everywhere. We also would prefer that more of the hot tubs were adult only. There was only one open in Serenity for this -- and serenity was always too crowded to get chairs.
