Chose this cruise for the itinerary which was changed at last minute. Still decided to go on cruise because Carnival offered some good refunds and future credits. The food however was not as spectacular has in the past, and was slow at best. Food was ok, but not great. Lot of confusion on the ship pertaining to events going on, and many things started late. On a positive note, all of the crew were very friendly and helpful, and the way they had the luggage set up in the debarkation was much better than as in the past. I did like the way embarkation went. It was much smoother than on previous cruises. I did not feel like the Platinum and Diamond members received very much for sailing on this particular ship, considering all the problems associated with this cruise before the embarkation day.Older ship, still not bad but showing its age.
