Sail Date: Jun 2013
Cabin: Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony 2B

CABIN: Compared to most similar Carnival ship I've sailed on the Summit cabin was cozier cabin but better finished, fitted, and fully functional. The bathroom was much better. Verandahs were a bit bigger but the deck material stuck to feet and shoes to be tracked about the cabin, and it wasn't vacuumed on a regular basis. I often find automatic-gratuity cruises lack incentive for good service and that seemed to be the case for us.

SUITE: I had suggested a Deck 6 suite for a couple in our group because that's where the most expensive cabins are, and, you would think, the best service. At one point they had to call for toilet paper when the only roll in the suite ran out. Enough said.

FOOD: Relative the Carnival experience the food at the buffet (Ocean View) was slightly lackluster. Those in our group that sampled the speciality restaurant LeNormandie were pleased. Main dining room food was good, though by the time sauces and dressings (served separately) arrived you were half finished or dinner was lukewarm. The cocktail waiter and sommelier both seemed a bit overworked--get your pre-dinner drink before.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony 2B

Cabin 2B

Deck 6 fwd/stbd was chosen for quiet...cabins above, boutiques below, and specifically for triangular balcony that nearly doubled outside deck space and allows views to side and aft. It's an efficient use of space. Three of us filled all available storage with suitcases stored under bed, but we were never short of storage. When converted to bed the loveseat opens to the desk so balcony access is a big step over it, and I'm guessing it's not comfortable for anyone much beyond 5 feet. Wall hooks next to TV and minifridge are good places to dry things. Fwd stairwell/elevator lobby normally uncrowded except just before/after shows, and just around corner but we never heard anything. Bathroom was nicely finished, bright and ventilated.
