Lets start with the good news . . . and there was much of that!
Check in was great and timely, ship left a few minutes late 2nd to an inspection of some kind. Staff was wonderfull. We stayed on the Panorama deck directly below the Spa.
Punchliner comedy is as good as it gets! Laughed with teary eyes and liquid coming out of my nose. Laughed so much, our sides hurt!
Room 1015 was the worst room ever - because of its location. (The room iteself was fine and our room steward was excellent). I am a Gold Member, been on many cruises, and generally enjoy balcony rooms on deck 10. However, Room 1015 is directly under the Spa, on this ship, and the start dropping the weights at 7:00 AM with earth shattering crashes. CARNIVAL NEEDS TO CHANGE THEIR POLICY TO "NO WEIGHT DROPPING" whether using free weights or machine. Oh well, who needs to sleep in when on vacation.
We drove to Miami and love the view from the ship. We reside in Florida and have been to Miami and believe it is a very beautiful, picturesque city. When crusing, however, we are just driving to the port and viewing from the port.
