There were many good things about thiscruise, but definitely things that needed improvement. I have sailed Carnival before.

Pros: Food was good, conveniently located, varied. Tables were cleaned immediately. Cabins were comfortable and clean. Laundry facilities were conveniently located and worked well. The movies and IMAX were great. The sky ride was fun. The exercise facilities, slides and outdoor entertainment were fantastic. Other than the first day when everyone was trying to get on board, the elevators worked great. The carnival app was ok, but not great. It definitely needs an upgrade. Lots of bugs. But a good first effort. The wifi worked fairly well.

Cons: Excursions were scheduled so that many hundreds of Carnival guests would show up to the same place at the same time, making the place so crowded it was difficult to enjoy. Most scheduled excursions showed up at the ship at the same time. The security was ill equiped to handle so many people getting on the ship at the same time. In Naples, for example, we were routed into the port building, where we climbed about 70 steps and then waited in a line for 20 minutes. Then we got in another line and waited for another 15 minutes. Then we were sent back down another set of 70 stairs and came out of the building around the corner from where we entered. Then we waited in line there for another 15 minutes. Then we walked the full length of the ship intp a line of about 700 people. We were slowly allowed to go through security one at a time. Finally someone decided that it might help to open another line. Finally we got on board.
