First time cruising with Carnival, we were very sceptical in the beginning especially because of the so many things happening to Carnival ships in the past few weeks.
Embarkation in Long Beach was good but they can improve on it.
House staff was polite but can improve on their cleaning. During our 15-day cruise, I have not noticed them cleaning our desk or our toilet bowl. But the overall cleanness of the ship was good.
Good size room. The room is partially blocked by the first tender on the port side almost mid ship. Interesting to see how they launch and recover the tender just outside our balcony. Plenty of storage space and especially like to be able to store our large full size luggage under the bed.
