Won't take carnival again. If it's not for getting nickeled and dimed the whole the trip it's the general attitude of the employees and the company itself.Embarkation was a mess. They bumped the board time twice. Ended up leaving late at 8pm. Got on board and found out they lost the 5 x $30 transaction for soda cards. Soda cards to not print out from documentation. Which led me to track everything on boat. The $15 bucks credit per passenger was two rather than three on the sign card review, then when we called they put it on, the next day it was gone. So they never credited it for us.

The weather was rough going down, could not go in the pools for the rocking of the ship. There were about 87 kids in each hot tub. If you went to the one on the serenity deck, it was not open when you would want to use it. If you are in before, they dump your belongings on the deck (in high winds) rather than say anything to you or ask you to move it. I managed to get in a hot tub twice despite Carnival.

Enrichment, there was one cooking class, otherwise non existent..

Cabin Review

Balcony

We got a cabin on the 7th deck aka verandah deck. Room was small. I got used to it, but it seemed small. We had myself and two sons in this room and it was hard to keep neat for lack of storge. Our cabin dude was awsome. He took great care of us despite Carnival. I pre-paid tips but wanted to encourage his awsome attitude and tipped him and the helper extra.
