Up front we knew the cabin would have problem but figured how bad can it be? Very disappointed that Carnival knows this problem exists but does nothing to alleviate it. The outside cabins with room over head to store life vests and extra pillows still have a 3X3 box in the corner under the.V. that holds these items. If, as we did, you want a kingsize bed, the person near the window must crawl around to get out of bed. I am 70+ and night visits to the Loo are required. Why they have to maintain this status is beyond me. But since this is the latest ship in this class I do not see resolution any time soon, so seniors be aware!

That being said, it is a lovely ship and quite navigable after a day or so. Furnishings and decor are pleasing. Shops are smaller than most of the ships we cruise. Even Triumph seems to have a better variety. All else is comparable to other ships in this class. Not a drinker but there is a bar every three feet it seems if that is your reason to cruise.

Food is acceptable but nothing special as we have come to expect from most Carnival chefs. More than enough for most folks. Our table of ten was a real joy. We were with 3 couples from Tampa area and one couple from Pennsylvania. We all ran into each other often on the trip and enjoyed the shows with sometimes most of the rest of our tablemates. Read more
