It is very apparent that Carnival has turned this cruise into a bargain basement cruise. If you are looking for value for your money, then this is it. If you are looking for a special vacation, then look somewhere else.
Embarkation and disembarkation were smooth. Nothing to add here that hasn't already been said.
The ship is older. The decor is a bit dated. It was perfectly fine! It was clean and well kept. I am not sure why some people base their opinions of the ship on decor. If the looks of the ship are important, then this is not the right ship. The staff kept everything clean and neat.
Great room. Decent location and layout. Loved the door between the two rooms. Should be lockable though.
