We have taking many cruises but this was out first with Carnival. We have always been somewhat reluctant due to book with Carnival due to the "Party Ship" reputation. We were pleasantly surprised, not at all what we expected, it is one of the cleanest, friendliest ships I have ever been on.
Embarkation was very quick and efficient, we were on the ship and on our way to the room by 1pm.
The ship is older but is well maintained. We had an aft balcony, which we loved. The cabin has a good layout, plenty of storage and a good sized bathroom. I can't say enough about the crew, they were very friendly and more than accommodating with any request.
Great aft balcony room, unlike some of the other ships we've been on this one looks almost completely down to the water. The room has a good layout, plently of storage, three closets and multiple drawers. Locations is great on this ship, one floor down from the buffet and pool, dining room is several floor below.
