Our cabin had a balcony & we really enjoyed the view during the cruise. The beds & sheets were very comfortable & my son said the bunk was too. The ship was like the other Carnival ships we have been on, not much different & not much updated.
The last 2 cruises we went on were without children, this trip was for my son's 13th Birthday & I feel because we traveled with children it made it very different. All cruises we have been on had excellent service, every time you walked past someone they smiled, offered to help, said hi...on this cruise nothing! Half of the time, I felt like we were being run over by a lot of the crew members, no one stopped to let us by, etc.
It seemed like everyone on the ship was on their last cruise, before their break & everyone was just kind of finished! Not many smiles, service at dinner was not great at all! Until our bar tender for the evening mentioned something to someone, and our server picked up the pace a little, but it was on our last night there!
Our cabin was in a great location, only 2 floors up to all the main activities @ the pool & food. Only 2 floors down to our evening diners. It was pretty centrally located, so easy to get to just about anywhere on the boat.
The balcony we greatly enjoyed!
We did not do a ship excursion. Went to Mr. Sanchoz Beach...was fabulous!
