This was our seventh cruise and our second Carnival cruise. Our first Carnival cruise was less than stellar due to being surrounded by excessive smoking and rowdiness. But after being bored by our last Celebrity cruise and finding Royal way too expensive, and discovering the Spa rooms, we thought we would try Carnival again. The Spa rooms are in a totally non-smoking and very quiet area of the ship. The room itself was just fine and the spa facilities absolutely splendid.

There was always something to do when we weren't in total relax mode! The Punchliner comedy club was hysterically funny and wildly entertaining and jam packed every night we went. All the comics were first rate and had us laughing until it hurt.

Music around the ship was excellent with our favorite being #Rythmnation which entertained us with three stellar sets a night in the Ocean Breeze lounge. They played everything from 60s right up to today's music and they wowed the crowed each night they played. Most of the large crowds were repeat attendees who couldn't get enough the band. Read more
