I have to agree somewhat with other reviewers about the long lines, the zoo at the buffet,and the somewhat worn appearance of the ship .My main complaint, actually there are two, where the overwhelming smell of smoke in the casino and an issue with getting a broken hairdryer replaced. There is no enclosed section in the casino for smokers and as a result non-smokers are subjected to second hand smoke and its smell..this one reason alone is why I probably will not choose Carnival to cruise again..I was not able to enjoy the casino or listen to the entertainment that performed adjacent to it..The hairdryer issue took 3 attempts to get if replaced and what replaced it was a cheap barely working model..

There were some good points...entertainment was good..interaction with crew members and staff was always pleasant..however I did not like the roving bar staff constantly hitting on me for a drink no matter where I was,,on deck or watching a show...If I want a beverage I will flag you down..otherwise leave well enough alone...As far as the lines are concerned if you purchase Faster to the Fun it makes life so much easier as you get to board the tenders first, get on and off the ship in ports first...well worth the minimal additional expense. The steak house specialty dining experience was excellent and I recommend it...the buffet was a challenge and unless you were there early the lines were long..

Overall it was a pleasant time, better than working..lol..but because of the smoking issue in the casino, I will think two and three times before booking again..Oh and one more point..I highly recommend the Safari River Tubing excursion in Ocho Rios, Jamaica..It was fun and well run..the ship should do more to promote it as it promoted almost everything else.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Very good as long as you have the Faster to the Fun option...otherwise be prepared for lines

Grand Cayman (Georgetown)

Typical tourist spot at the shops...used the time on the ship to relax and enjoy the pools without the crowds while most went ashore
