Ok, to set the table for anyone who reads this I have a few qualifying statements:
1.) Others may have had a better or worse experience, my opinion is that of me and my family
2.) I have cruised 3 times on Carnival in the last decade, and once before that on RCCL in 2002, so I am not a "frequent flyer" but not a first timer either
Good use of space. 4 of us in one cabin, interior stateroom. We were comfortable except the AC issue noted above.
