Overall the ship is very bright & cheery. We loved the layout. Altho very big it didn't seem so. Seating in the Lido Marketplace dining area was very large. We never found it full. You can pour your own draft beer at lunch or dinner time. Love Guys Burgers, the free homemade ice cream that served 2 different flavors each day as well as the self serve machines that are open 24 hours a day. The variety of restaurants are great.
Entertainment areas are bright & well laid out. Limelight lounge is excellent for the comedy shows, not a big fan of the Liquid Lounge which has movable seating so that they can rearrange for the nightly disco dancing. The Thrill Theater is a great addition & fun. Sports Bar has a tv that covers the whole wall. Red Frog Pub is full of games & you can pour your own draft beer right at your seat, just insert your sail & sign card for $4.
Getting on & off ship at ports was very easy & quick. In fact if it wasn't for some technical difficulty at embarkation it would have been our fastest & easiest ever. We went from arrival at port to waiting to board in just 10 minutes! When it was time for self debarkation at 7am we were standing outside waiting for our ride at 7:05am. In fact only one family was in front of us.
Although adequate in size, it was a bit smaller than other Carnival interior rooms. One less closet & a few less drawers.
