My wife and I, my parents and my two teenage kids took this cruise to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Since mom and dad paid for the trip as a gift to us I opted for Carnival for the exceptional value they offer- did not want to break dad's bank.
Getting to the ship at the pier in NY was a breeze and embarking the ship was oh so easy and smooth.
The boat is very beautiful and we were so impressed with the layout.
