Embarkation was a breeze as always with Carnival. No issues here, and staff was great.
The ship is very well taken care of. Very clean. The 2.0 upgrades were great. Guy's burgers are out of this world delicious. Red Frog's and The Blue Iguana were great. Plenty of seating, great service, and tasty drinks at both. Didn't go to the new martini bar or EA sports bar, although they did seem very busy each time we went by.
Room steward was fantastic. Room was always spotless and he addressed us by first names the entire week.
Love this stateroom! Only book for two guests as there is no sofa, just a chair. The balcony is HUGE! We had two chairs, two loungers and a table, with plenty of room for more.
Would be perfect for a family of 4 wanting a balcony, and an inside stateroom to save money on the additional room instead of two balcony rooms.
If you are a light/early sleeper skip this cabin. It is directly above aft lounge and until the late adult comedian is done, you can hear everything. It didn't bother us, and never woke us.
