I booked a last minute cruise and drove from Rhode Island to Manhattan to board the cruise. I parked in the lot right next to the cruise ship as it was most convenient but a little pricy at $320 for the (8) days. i could have save about $80 by parking elsewhere but at the end of the day it was worth the extra money.
I was in cabin #1347 and it was very convenient to the elevators and right on the corner of the bank of rooms so it was easy to find when walking the hallway from either end of the ship. The room was surprising quite considering it's location.
I have no complaints regarding this cruise, the ship, or it's staff. It was typical Carnival and everything was fine. It was a mid range cruise so I was not expecting the decor or amenities of another line or newer cruise ship.
The cabin was o.k. and clean. It is time for Carnival to update it's decor though and get rid of the pink!! The on / off button on the television remote was tricky to use and once I got the television on for the day, I left it on until I went to bed as I was concerned about not being able to turn it on again.
