This cruise was my family of 5's second cruise on Carnival. We sailed on Valor in 2010 to the Western Caribbean, and we couldn't help but use that cruise as our baseline for comparison.
BETTER:
- With only one day at sea, and San Juan acting as an awesome port in itself, I liked the southern Caribbean itinerary much better, but more on that in port reviews.
We were in cabins 8202 and 8204, which sit right behind the bridge. While we loved the adjoining balconies, it was a little awkward having the bridge extension right outside our room. That said, 8202 was amazingly quiet, and we never heard any noise outside our room.
