Well where do I begin!!! Lol!! First of all, I just got off this ship literally 12 hours ago and I have NEVER seen anything like this ship. Before I begin, this review will probably be pretty lengthy and since this is my first RC cruise and I am a veteran Carnival cruiser, you will probably see many comparisons here. Also, I am a plus sized passenger so you'll see things from my perspective to hopefully aid other future passengers that have some of the same challenges that I had.

I was traveling with my husband and two small boys (6 and 12) in my immediate party (there were other family and friends traveling with us as well). My husband and I are in our late 30's and do not drink/party nor did our children participate in the kids programs on board. I did go up to that deck and kinda look around and that section looked amazing. The only reason we didn't send out kids there was the age difference between our boys they would have been in two separate categories and not have been able to be together as they wanted.

EMBARKATION: Overall was great. Very quick and painless. We arrived the night before and stayed at Springhill Suites Ft. Lauderdale which was a great hotel, no complaints. They provide a free shuttle to the ship and we were able to get on pretty early, before noon. The only issues I had was I was given a wheelchair upon arrival (due to my fibromyalgia sometimes it's hard to walk long distances) and at one point they took me to one section, took my wheelchair, and told me I had to wait for another one. WHAT?? Umm, what's wrong with the chair I'm sitting in? Really?? I have to get out of this one?? Anyway, I got frustrated waiting and just told them I would walk the rest of the way and I did. There are about 3 or 4 inclines you must walk up to get to the ship so if you have trouble walking prepare yourself for this. Read more
