This was our second cruise. In 2006, we cruised to Bermuda with Royal Caribbean, so this was our first Carnival Cruise. Overall, we had a good time. But after cruising with Royal, I don't know that I'd want to cruise on Carnival again.

First of all, we had no problems on our embarkation. Things went smoothly, and we did not wait too long. Our room was ready when we got on the ship because it arrived empty. We put down our bags and went to the restaurant to eat.

The food overall was "good". Not great, but good. Sometimes the food was cold, but mostly it was an OK temperature. The omelets were really good, the pizza (available 24 hours) was also good, and the deserts were also pretty good. They tried to have different themes each day at one of their buffets, including a chocolate buffet on the last day. Food in the main dining room was quite good, but when I tried to order one dish without mushrooms, they looked at me like I had three heads. I guess special orders do upset them. So I made sure I stuck to the menu after that. The service was good, but not anything special. One good thing about sticking to the pre-prepared menu items was that dinner was fast. We were in and out of there in about 45-50 minutes most nights. The steakhouse was very good. I read some complaints about the steakhouse that others had written, but we had a very good meal. We both had surf and turf, which was excellent. The food was also presented very beautifully, and the service was good (again, not great). They had a sushi bar open each evening, but the two times that we went to it, we were disappointed. The sushi was not very good at all, and poorly prepared. Just about every piece we had fell apart before we ate it.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin 8D

Great location. Easy access to the main deck and restaurant. Far enough away to not hear the noises of the Lido deck. As private of a balcony as you can get. (Only neighbors peering around the divider could see in.) Room was very nice and large enough for 2 people. I was very glad I picked this room.
