After reading all the nightmarish reviews of this ship, I thought I was boarding a norovrius septic tank. This is my12th cruise all on carnival, so I know a little about what to expect from carnival overall. I will try to go through all the parts of the ship.
New Orleans Port- Again easy to get in and on the boat by 1130 with no lines.
Interior-Some complained about how they streamlined the ship and used every nook and cranny for profit. I saw a well designed upgrade and had no problem getting around the ship. The Casino i do believe they need to make smokeless, however it was not the gamblers that were smoking up the place it was the cruisers that surrounded the casino bar it created a fog leading into the elevators. other then that i did not see or smell smoke anywhere else on the ship.
