I have never been on a Carnival cruise before, and I do not think I will cruise with this line again. We had a decent time, nothing spectacular. The cruise ship was crowded for sure, and if you wanted any sort of seat by one of the pools, you needed to wake up by 7am to claim your spot. If you didn't do this, then you were out of luck. If basically felt like we were fighting crowds and waiting in lines the entire time.

The servers and room attendants were fantastic though! Though, Ms Jackie (she hosted a lot of the shows in the Butterfly lounge) was super rude. We had gone to the comedy show one night and a friend of ours left their seat to grab a drink and use the restroom, and she was quite rude to us because we saved his seat while he left for only 5 mins max. He came back of course but she felt the need to lie and say she watched our seat for 15 mins (we had not even been there that long) and said he had 5 mins to get back to his seat or they will force us to leave. Besides that whole deal, the entertainment was just OK. We watched a few shows, the performers we not together and did not give it their all, and the cruise director was sub par.

Plan on spending a lot of money of this cruise! The food was OK. I had food poisoning one night and my friend was sick another night. The water they provide for free was disgusting. You had no choice but to purchase the water bottle package. Not a lot of variety either.
