We took this cruise because of the ports of call, We had never been to any of these ports and wanted to see them. Everyone on the ship tried to make you feel special and comfortable. The ship though was very cold. Either the air conditioning was on high or was just blowing all the time. We were very uncomfortable and so was many of the guests.

The ship may be old but has a lot of good features. I especially liked all the choices of food available. Form Pizza 24 hours a day to BBQ pork to burritos. The dining room cuisine though lacked in quality. The Shows were really good and The embarkation and debarkation was performed much faster and orderly then past Carnival cruises I have been on. The ports of call and the tours were good but no real wow factor. I believe you get what you pay for and this is still a great bargain. Seasoned cruisers though will notice the cutbacks that all the cruise lines have made.
