Sail Date: Apr 2013
Cabin: Balcony

A little background we are in our early 50's and have 29 cruises, from three cruise lines. Check in for the PRIORITY guests went well. Once they allowed check-ins, you were taken to the Priority guest lounge where water, lemonade and cookies were served. We were taken to the ship at approx noon. There were no lines for pictures as they had two photo spots set up in the area where passengers were waiting to board to get their souvenir photo taken. The VIP guests were not informed to that detail, we usually skip that any ways as those usually are not the best photo ops.

SHIP: The ship is a little glitzy for the pink color but not annoying. Round donuts, pink with black spots, a typical older style for Carnival. It Never bothered us. It was constantly being cleaned; the floors were always being keep free of trash and being polished. It didn't show a lot of wear. We had wished it got the 2.0 upgrade before coming to New York.

STATEROOM: Balcony cabin starboard side (right) 7359. This is a catagory 8C. Cabin was nice as the 7th floor was an excellent location. Two floors up for the eats and two floors down to the main area and was between the center and the rear stairs. Only a slight problem was that our neighbor guys love to sit out and smoke their cigars. This wasn't as bad as cigarette smoke but a little annoying. We made it ok. The stateroom staff was very helpful for any requests we had from changing the beds to our laundry. Ice was provided every day in our ice bucket. As some have said in posts you had to ask, not the case on our cruise.
