My wife and I went on a cruise for our 13 year wedding anniversary. This was our first cruise and we had no idea what to expect. We chose Carnival because several friends recommended them. The embarkation process was somewhat lengthy, but expected with 3,400 people trying to board. We located our room and was very impressed with the size and layout. I got a balcony room and boy am I glad I did. It was great getting up in the morning drinking coffee sitting on the balcony. We explored the ship and finally got everything down by the last full day of the cruise. Next time we will know more what to expect. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were always willing to stop what they were doing to answer any question. The food on the ship was pretty good. Guys Burgers was my favorite. The burgers were always fresh, hot and tasty as well as the fries. I look forward to cruising with Carnival in the future.
