Overall it was another great cruise for my husband and me. Relaxing, plenty to do, wonderful food to eat, good entertainment, good service, and casino fun, too. I will admit that the balcony rooms were a little bit smaller than we were used to on other Carnival ships, but it worked out just fine. I was concerned about less closet hanging space; but our clothes did fit. The life jackets are now under the bed so that helped out. The other difference was that there are less servers/waiters, etc. in the dining rooms; however we had excellent service from our wait staff. They were just constantly rushing around...in a hurry, trying to accommodate more people; but still smiling and helping us with our requests. Our one disappointment was that we could not dock in Caracao due to rough seas. That was certainly not Carnival's fault in any way. In fact, we appreciated their concern for passengers safety. Overall, very relaxing and fun cruise. We enjoyed ourselves.
As stated before, a little smaller with less storage but overall worked out just fine for the two of us.
