This is only our second cruise but we couldn't have asked for anything more. It exceeded all our expectations and we already know that we'll be back at some point.
Embarkation in Seattle was effortless. We arrived at the terminal and were on the ship within 20 minutes. We ate all of our breakfast and lunches at the buffet and we always found there to be plenty of selection and the food was pretty good.
The "Las Vegas style" shows were excellent and there were three different comedians. The first one was really funny but the other two were just okay. I think they should have stayed more with the Carnival dancers and singers because those people can really put on a show.
Our cabin was on the Riviera deck and we had an ocean view. It was quite spacious and always clean. There is plenty of closet space and very quiet. We were down the hall from the engine room and just under one of the dance clubs but we never heard any noise.
