3rd Cruise, and let me tell you it was not a charm! The food was decent & the staff was good. Only reasons why I gave it 2 stars) the smell of sewage in my cabin & on my balcony was a nightmare. My bathroom drain had to worked on 2 times, a portable odor diffuser had to be brought in several times as well. My room steward would freshen it as best as he could. I was on the empress deck.

My 12 year old tried out circle c and after the second time there he begged not to go back because the horrible language. There was only one staff member to look after over 25+ kids. The smoke was bad too. Seemed like smoking was allowed everywhere. Do yourself a favor a look at other cruise lines other than Carnival.
