Additional details
I was accused of being more forgiving than others on the ship last week, but I try to be as objective as possible. The reality is that the ship was delayed half a day arriving in port because of "Whale Migration" several weeks before departure and then again the day of, due to fog. This + terrible MassPort security staff at the Port of Boston + gale warnings outside the port of Boston led to a scramble that unfortunately the passengers and crew were not able to recover from.
Carnival though did more than could be expected and gave us $50 OBC to compensate for our after mid-night embarkation and departure the next day instead of the original plans.
This mess unfortunately threw off the entire cadence of the cruise and because of the weather, Lido and the upper decks were closed ... leading to further roughness.
Cabin Review
Interior
Cabin 6-317 was a standard Carnival room. However the room had significant noise that we noticed (but did not bother us). Compared to other Carnival ships it seemed to have paper-thin walls and we could hear music from the atrium as well as doors / drawers closing in neighboring rooms. Also, possibly because of the location to the housekeeping station, the carts rolling by the room also were very noticeable - especially carts with glassware on them (clinking).
That being said, the bathroom had tons of space for storing toiletries (I got 1 spot, wife took the other 5!) and three huge closets, one with shelving.
